I know this isn’t a buy-or-sell offer, but since backlink spots are often sold here, I thought sharing this experience could be useful for others looking for backlinks.
After replying to another member selling backlink spots, I got an email from someone I thought was the webmaster of girlswallowed.com. After checking the site and seeing other legit backlinks, we made a deal. I paid in crypto (I’ve done this before with other webmasters, no issues), but this time there was no reply after the payment. I waited 2–3 days, sent another email—still nothing.
This morning I thought, “Okay, let’s check the email from the site’s contact page just to be sure.” And then… I noticed the email had “ii” instead of “i”. I laughed so hard because I always double-check email addresses in my personal life, but this time—for some reason—I didn’t. Probably because I was already in talks with other webmasters, so when this email came in, I just assumed it was legit.
So, to help others avoid the same mistake: if you get a message offering a backlink on girlswallowed.com, double-check the email. I’m sure this scammer is using addresses from threads to pull the same trick with other websites.
