I've had this publishing domain for at least 4 years now, It's earned OK revenue, nothing great, But for the last 3 months or so it's earned a lot more, about $110 a month, During this time, I've been receiving emails from people stating they sent a check to "my domain" (the company name) for $35 and asking me why I haven't sent them their Envelope Stuffing materials yet, I reply back explaining they have the wrong web site and to contact the party they sent their payment to.. It seems for everyone I get rid of, 2 more email with the same question, so I'm now choosing not to reply, I even removed the inquire link.

Just to note; One of the links on the parked page does have a envelope stuffing link, automatically generated by Parked.

I like the revenue but I don't want to be associated with any SCAM and I certainly don't want people coming after me for something I didn't do. Also I'm sure the increase in clicks is a result of the people being scammed..

So if you were me, what would you do? Keep it as is?, Remove the link and risk losing $$$, or?

If you asking this question, you probably have an answer already.

Put simple note at the bottom?
"YourDomain.com" is not associated with "what ever that scam company name is"
in ANY way.

Great idea Copper, and Parked allows me to do it.

Thanks. ;)
