Yeah, I’ve about had my fill of the crappy link exchange offers and the webmasters looking to get over on others for a link.
It’s seems some are so desperate for a link they’re willing to defraud others to promote their garbage sites. Here’s a typical example from today:

P.S.: If you want us to link to your site first please reply to this email with add first in the subject and place where you will place our link.
Wow! They’re offering to place our link on the homepage of a PageRank 4 site for a link to another site. Some webmasters must think that others are idiots.
For one, ucepnepal.org is a dropped domain with foolbar PageRank. You can look at Archive.org and see what this site used to look like when it was set up for the Underprivileged Children’s Educational Programs (UCEP) Nepal.
So now some webmaster/promoter has grabbed up a dropped domain to use to obtain links to a crappy made for AdSense site at BeautyFeast.com. Either for a client or themselves.
You can look at the Whois to see that the owner of the dropped domain is not the same person owning the MFA site.

vijayowl@gmail.com is the email address that “Richard Bean” used to send us this crappy link exchange offer; maybe he thought by using a made up name we’d have more interest?
The suggested title makes no sense and the code is incomplete.
What’s really sad is that the owner of the MFA site is likely paying for link development. Hey buddy, you get what you pay for.
