Seems old Jim is still spamming away! I got the exact same email, his IP was 122.161.62.227 which resolves to New Delhi, Delhi, India using ISP Bharti Broadband. I can’t imagine this lamer gets any business though!

i got the same message…

I’ve helped hundreds of companies increase their traffic and I’d love to show you what my service can do for you. I don’t promise the world, I’m straight forward and to the point … I deliver rankings. My rates are completely affordable and I don’t want to oversell you either, I start small and have my clients begging for more. I won’t take on your site unless I know I can deliver rankings. Reply to this e-mail if you have the slightest interest … you’ll never see rankings the same way again.

this guy can’t be stopped? what an idiot! at least he should learn to write a decent email before sending out just a stupid message bragging about what incredible skills he has on SEO…

P.S: he sent me the message from this IP address: 122.161.67.2

I do SEO and got this same email. The fact that they use a gmail account is a dead giveaway. If you run a business based on internet services, why oh why would you use GMAIL? Yes, gmail is awesome, but it’s ridiculous that this “professional” uses it for SEO services, let alone a business proposal.

Here is my message that I got:

I have just had one of these emails, so thanks for posting this I usually delete striaght away but thought i would copy the email address into google, and see what i get.

Ur blog was number one, I have replied to see what she comes back with, but i do my SEO, i might not work as fast as someone else doing it, but at least i know what im doing and doing it correctly, not quick results that dont last very long.

Regards

I got one today from jimguthrie15@gmail.com. This person is driving me crazy. If he/she is indeed an SEO expert, why can’t he/she get potential customers to his or her website via search engines, rather than sending spam?

just received a mail from him too, curious on how he came across my website to spam me, I Googled too, and came here.

Thanks for writing this blog post, it will help people who have a bit of common sense (those that Google to research people before they buy).

Is there any update of the things that were being done about him/her?
