    Paranoia, A Glitch, or ?

    Things to keep in mind:

    This site contains a key word in their site's name, but there is no possible trademark issue and nothing shady going on, well on my end anyway.
    Ratio before conversation: Better than 1:200 for more than a year. Worst period, MAYBE 1:400.
    Ratio after conversation: 0:3000+ NO SALES. Rebills seem to have disappeared as well.

    XXXXXX: I got your icq from your site http://www.xxxxxxx.com
    Me: Hey XXXXXX, how can I help you? Is this about hosting, a trade, or is this spam ;)?
    XXXXXX: None of the above I represent xxxxxxcash we are interested in buying the site.
    Me: xxxxxx.com? I wasn't really thinking of selling it.
    XXXXXX: We have noticed that you have sent us quite a lot of joins and your ratios are outstanding which is why we are interested.
    Me: Exactly the reason I'm not looking to sell, and since I spend at most 5-10 minutes a day on it, it is easy money.
    XXXXXX: How much traffic is it getting and from where?
    Me: 7-8k about 1/3 of it is bookarkers & SE, about 2/3 of it trades
    XXXXXX: That is a lot of unstable traffic, Would you take 500.00 for it?
    Me: Umm, no. I make about that in a month from it. More if you factor in the rebills.
    XXXXXX: 750.00
    Me: lol, no.
    XXXXXX: What would you take for it?
    Me: Again, I really wasn't planning on selling it, but I may entertain an offer above 2k.
    XXXXXX: We won't go that high
    Me: Then I guess I'm not selling
    XXXXXX: Very well, just please keep sending us traffic and joins then
    Me: As long as you keep converting the way you do, I will
    XXXXXX: Very good. Take care
    Me: You too

    And now, emails and ICQs go unanswered...

        Guess they're trying to make it worth $500 after all.

        P.S. Name them or die@!

              Fancy that, YOU bitching about some whining...

              If I do not get a resolution, I will out them. But since everyone seems to be in agreement that something is "funny", it must be more than paranoia.

                What kind of resolution? I can tell you know what will happen:

                "Oh let me look at your stats...hmmk...yah..well stats are a bit off but everythings fine on our side. Maybe you should try different traffic. Hmmmk?"
