First off, I apologize if I have not selected the proper category for this post; If it belongs in another section here on BWH, then mods please move it...
Here's my issue..
I recently put up some ads over on Craigslist in my area offering SEO services to small local businesses and in the last 24 hours, have received a few possible leads...HOWEVER, out of the dozen or so responses I got, about 4 of them look like duplicates...
Meaning, each response that was sent said the same thing..which was:
"are your services still available"
After replying to the first few I got, I'm starting to wonder if somehow I'm being taken for a ride? I mean, what are the possibilities that the very same question would be asked by more then one person..and i'm talking 'verbatem'...
Thoughts/opinions are welcomed as I need to know if I should even respond to those emails in question.
[EDIT]: Looks like these emails were simply emails being sent in order to initiate an 'autoresponder', as the responses all said the same thing, which was:
"...Thanks for messaging me back so quick. I just moved out to the area and I recently met a few people who have had a tough time finding work. Hopefully it goes better for you on your job hunt than mine has. I did meet a man named Jeff who said he was getting help just for applying for jobs. He has a blog that shows how he has got out of debt you should check it out. Last month I got $845 just for trying to find a job. Check out http://www.mygrantexperience.com/.."
Oh well! Guess I'll just have to keep my chin up and hope that a REAL BUSINESS will reply to my ads! ;-)
