Thanks for writing back. I'm running short on time to write, but email gets boring quick anyways. I've recieved a couple replies on here and I'm narrowing down my pray. I mean my selection.. teehee. Just Kidding!

3) It's a PPC page, linking to Google syndication
So there you have it 2 new scamming methods!
