Is this spam?

compuXP · 03-19-2006, 09:49 PM

Spam now-a-days is very well disguised, sometimes.

Is this spam? They sent it to my mattsprojects.net email, which is not even mentioned on paidsponsoring.com - the email on paidsponsoring.com is for web [at] paidsponsoring [dot] com, not the one at mattsprojects.net. (I own Paid Sponsoring)

So, intelligent robot? Real? Or just human-sent spam? Should I go with this offer?

Our company ExpoActive operates an online advertising service and we are interested in purchasing ad space on your website. Right now we wanted to find out about placing a text based ad on the page http://www.paidsponsoring.com/

However we would also be willing to have our ad shown on all pages of your site at your discretion. Currently we would be willing to pay you $ .45 for every click that this ad receives.

If you decide to accept this proposal please create your ExpoActive account using the following dynamic link
http://www.expoactive.net/r/?r=85113...34c2a98f86fd10

After creating your ExpoActive account you will be able to view the actual ad that we would like to place on your website. If you agree to display this Ad on your website you will be provided with a short HTML segment that you simply paste on to your siteÒs pages wherever you believe the Ad would be most effective. In the event that you feel the ad you have been offered would be more relevant on a different website that you operate, it is fine to place it there providing the visitor demographics are similar.

You will then immediately begin earning $ .45 every time a visitor of your website clicks this Ad. At any time you will be able to log into your account and view your balance. The money you earn will be sent to you via check or certified money order on a monthly basis.

We hope you choose to accept our proposal, as we look forward to advertising with you ASAP!

Sincerely,

Pete Caxivo
