A spam this morning from someone who wants to “invest” in my website and improve its search-rank; apparently he believes I’m selling something. I’m way tempted to call the 877 number and string them along, seeing how long it takes them to figure out that my only website is personal.
And then I think, could that itself be an advertising tactic?

- Wait for me to call, and then once I’m on the line,
- ???
- Profit!!
