I had exactly the same offer twice. Both also give the same initial 2, 3 emails. Guess what, also offer on 7 pages. However, the first one offered $15 and 2nd one offer $10. I don't think it's Too Good to Be True because for only $10 they want to put 8 links to my page. That's only $0.80 for 1 <strong>permanent</strong> super <strong>relevant link</strong> on a potentially high pagerank page. That's too cheap to be true. Could you email me of the update to your post if that person respond to your email and provide their paypal ID? I think they might scare YOU hack their paypal instead ... hehehe that would be funny. And what the heck? Why giving away your paypal ID is so dangerous? They would send you money but can they do harm too? Oh, just found out you have Subscribed to Comment. OK, let's see how. <strong>:lol: You are right, Binh. It <em>is</em> too cheap. Can they do harm by having our pay pal id? I don't <em>know</em>, and that's why I am afraid to try it. Computer hackers can do darn near anything. No, they didn't offer their paypal id, but they did contact me again. I refused the offer. BlogHer ads wouldn't be too thrilled, and it was too little money to pay me for my credibility! </strong> Strange… I had exactly the same offer twice. Both also give the same initial 2, 3 emails.

A legit company would at least proofread their emails, don't you think? Glad you followed up on it and didn't get suckered!
