catsitting.net is a spammer

[giza]

Ah, another day, another spammer. This one apparently decided to use some search engine software to "target" his spam run. Not only does his targeting SUCK, but he obviously could not be bothered to actually like, visit my website before sending me something about *catsitting*. Jeeze.

So now I guess I'll just post the spam here, searches on Google for "catsitting.net" and "spam" will start getting matches. What a tragedy.

Subject: I'd love to link to your cat page!

Hi there,

I'm writing because I'd really like to link to your site from mine. I
have a site dedicated to locating cat sitters all over the United
States. The URL is:

http://www.catsitting.net/

Each page has a "Related Sites" section where reltaed links go. Your
link will go in that section.

You can add your link to all 16,000+ pages of the site by filling out
the form located here:

http://www.catsitting.net/index.php?addlink=true&url=www.spamcop.net [Munged, hehehe.]

PLEASE do not share that URL with anybody, since I am very particular
about which sites get added to my related sites section and I don't
want that form to get abused by link spammers.

I appreciate the hard work you're doing on your site!
Keep it up!

Thanks,
Jon

ROTFL!!!!

They want you to fill out a form? Sounds like a phishing attack.

It's not. All it asks for is the name of the site, the URL, and a couple of similar things. There is no personally identifiable information involved.
