I just found an email in my spam folder with Subject: "I've visited your website: http://blog.inspiringjourneytofinancialfreedom.com/".
The content of the email is as below:
Hi,
We've seen your
website at http://blog.inspiringjourneytofinancialfreedom.com and we love it!
We see that
your traffic rank is 1872389 and your
link popularity is 0.
Also, you have been online since
< "Online since" >.
With that kind of
traffic, we will pay you up to
$4,800/month to advertise our links on your
website.
If you're interested, read our terms
from this

Sincerely,

The ContactThem Network
Pls be aware of this scam and don't fall into the trap. It appears to be too good to be the true!
For sure the $4,800 monthly caught my attention. Then, I noticed that there was a flaw on the registration date of my domain which appeared as < "Online since" >.…This attracted my attention and be more alert that it must be a scam and potentially a link that might spread virus around.
After google search for "ContactThem.com", I found a couple of Rip Off or Scam Reports on similar websites like ContactThem.com, ContactThem.net, ContactThem.biz, ContactThem.info, ContactThem.tv....etc
Apparently, this is a scam from the freeadguru, Stephan Ducharme. The scam sounds like this:
"This page has been assaulted by tens of thousands of people in the past few hours! A lot of people are reading this page while you are because TODAY you can download new software worth $250,000.00 that finds leads for FREE!
As soon as you'll Download "ContactThem" software, you'll instantly find thousands of Leads: Clients, visitors, subscribers, network marketing leads (Yes, MLM leads!), Internet marketers, affiliates, website owners & business partners in any category ... FOR FREE!
Type in any keyword, press "Search" and the LEADS appear! You get their name, email address, phone number, postal address,
and more!"
Also, out of curiousity (I guess it is the nature of human being), I clicked the link and visited the website. I was surprised to see that it is a professionally designed website with a recorded audio telling you how great is this webpage as below:
"After millions of dollars invested and over 2 years in development, we’ve just launched the fastest growing program since Google Adwords and as viral as Hotmail. Over 300,000 people have visited this page in the first week and thousands are joining every day! Growing faster and faster every minute, this program propagates extremely fast.
We'll pay you up to $4,800/month to add our links on your website for 1 month!*
And even if you only show our links for one month, we'll keep on paying you that $4,800 EVERY MONTH!*
Keep showing our links on your website for a second month, and you'll double your monthly paycheck!*
From that moment youll receive a paycheck of up to $9,600 every month, and that is even if you choose to remove our links from your website.*..... "
Ya right!
After further reading, I can confirm that it is a scam...too good to be the true! Where is the money come from? The subscribers themselves!
There are tonnes of scam reports on ContactThem.com, if you were to google search "ContractThem.com review" on the net. One of them is as below:
