The following spam was recently sent to nearly all of my websites with the same message but different subjects and contact info. I especially like how they emphasize their “white hat” services even though they are spamming the hell out of people. Oh, and if you want to pretend the email wasn’t an automated email (or a lazy copy-paste email), you should at least refer to the website you’re contacting rather than asking for that information in a reply. Also, it may help if you include at least some sort of company information – especially when each message comes from a different name and email address.

We would like to get your website on first page of Google. All of our processes use the most ethical “white hat” Search Engine Optimization techniques that will not get your website banned or penalized. Please reply and I would be happy to send you a proposal. In order for us to respond to your request for information, please include your company’s website address (mandatory) and or phone number.
