The email proposed purchasing a significant amount of advertising on my blog and prepaying for a year or more. I don't recall specific dollars being mentioned, but the email was definitely suspicious...especially since my blog has only been up for a couple weeks and the traffic was nothing to brag about. Anyway, I simply deleted the email and moved on. There were too many "Nigerianish" things about the email to find it credible.
