Well, this guy was pretty obvious. Dropping your price from $3120 for a year (he quoted me a monthly price of $260) to $230 for a whole year is a dead give-a-way. Then refusing to put the link up first, c'mon. I mean, if it was a network of sites I could understand wanting something up front but one site, he could have a link up and down in less than 30 seconds. Refusing to put a link up to prove that he owns the site screams scam.
I've been hit up with a lot of offers for links on domain names that were mainstream that expired and someone bought it and added adult content and tried to pass it off as a valuable link. I didn't post a scam alert on those because that's a judgment call...in my judgment those are worthless, but it's not necessarily a scam or theft. "Rule" was blatantly trying to steal money.
