Is this a scam or legit? - GoFuckYourself.com

Hi guys,

I need your advice.
I just got an email from mister John Miller, an Internet Marketing Executive who wants to advertise on my website.
We mailed back and forward 3 times.
He says he would like a textlink on my mainpage which leads to an articlepage containing 2 links to his adultsite and one general link like Wiki, BBC or About.
He gave me 2 url examples for these articlepages: fuckedmachine and bootyfucked d0T c0M
Asked for his website's url to which he replied: WorldSex d0T c0M
But he emailed me with a Gmail account and the whois data for the 3 sites above aren't the same.
On top of that he never asked questions regarding my traffic and he wants to make a deal for one year of advertising.
I find it all very fishy.
I phoned with WorldSex but they already closed for the day.
Will call again tomorrow.
But in the meantime: what do you think? Is this a scam or is he legit?
Anyone got similar emails?
Here's the first email he sent me:

Given the less than stellar grammar in the quote you provided, even if it was legit, I don't think I would do business with them. But it sounds like a typical scam email to me.
