I run other forums than this one. I got this in the inbox from a marketting company.


We are interested in advertising text links on the bottom of your forum ***********, or other websites that you might own/manage.
ZTMC works with a database of hundreds of thousands of sites that advertise in a network, from kids sites to big corporate sites. Every topic imaginable is represented, with the exception of pharmaceutical, warez, adult and gambling sites. Again, no pharmaceutical, warez, adult or gambling sites ads are displayed. We would like to display five sites randomly at the bottom of every page of your site (in a common footer). For this, I'd propose a monthly fee paid each month in advance.

The agreement would last a month at a time (paid upfront).
These are not banners, they are simple one line text links. You can theme them with size and color to fit your site as you see fit. I'd prefer them at the bottom of the site and you can label them as sponsored or advertiser's sites if you wish.

We are contacting as many large forums as I can find. Why forums? Because we find that many sites can use the money/sponsorship to help grow their sites and the site growth can also help us.

Please contact me if this interests you. I can show you the examples of these ads on existing sites and hopefully we can agree on a monthly fee that will be mutually beneficial.

Thank you for your time,

****.

Sorry, all I can say is this happens to me too and I have yet to find out how to get rid of them. :( Just don't ever reply to any of them- it tells them that your email actually works.

Nothing beats offers for Viagra and penis extensions. If you decrypt them in the correct way, you get all sorts of messages from the afterlife.

Mostly about little blue pills, I have to admit, but messages none-the-less.
