SEO services, what scum.

That said, if you need a website redesign, I know a company. (/s)

Haven't you read all those concerned emails? OP's web design is great! πŸ˜‚

even if it's the top result

I feel like being the top result is the primary reason you get this spam.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nah, I get spam for my personal website where I host projects etc and also use as a convenience domain... It's pretty clear that I don't actively want to be indexed (if they wanna do it then sure but I'm not sure what they're searching for) and yet they're still talking about how they can get me more sales for my... Open source tokeniser and instruction set I guess?

Do you have your email published on the website somewhere? Could just be because it's out in the open where all the bots can scrape it. They don't know what's on the website; only that this email is associated with one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Nah, it's just a very generic address at a custom domain, so I imagine they just have scripts to email {enquiries, admin, info, help, etc.}@abc.xyz or something

Yes hello, I'd like to buy your 2 million dollar business for 10 bucks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I took my phone number off my Google profile and the spam calls dropped off immediately. I do custom work and only locally so I don't want to cast a wide net.

I wrote my number on a piece of paper and took a picture of it and uploaded that. A low tech captcha.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I get these all the time, so I feel your pain.

And then you get the follow-up... "I wanted to make sure you didn't ignore the last three emails I sent..." blah, blah, blah. Go swallow glass!

I don't even own a business and I get this madness. I was a CTO at a company that was big enough to get attention; then it sold and I left. But I still get lots of proposals for ways people can help me take that company "to the next level." They even send them to my new work email address where I'm not in the c-suite.

If you have admin portal access to write transport rules, I recommend writing a rule that has the server reply with a 550 5.7.1 Delivery Refused error. Trigger it based on the keyphrases "top of Google search" and "affordable SEO" to start with.

Pffffffffftt I was barely able to make a website without actually accidentally uploading a picture of my balls mate πŸ˜‚

One of them led with β€œdear” though. Are you sure it’s not just your grandma just trying to help you?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

Aye if my granny was Nigerian!
