Yes, there's an echo in here:AmplifiedMedia.org

I received this in my inbox this morning - from AmflifiedMedia.org and while I read I glowed with pride at the compliments.

Hi Pat,


My name is Emma with Amplified Media. We loved theenglishcottage.blogspot.com. We love this collection of images and stories that interest you. We really enjoyed your recent post of ideas you wish you'd thought of first.


Please email me at emma@amplifiedmedia.org if you are interested in learning more about opportunities to work together. I look forward to hearing from you.


Best Regards,
Emma Peters

Then, my brain checked in, and I asked: what's the catch? How much do I have to pay? Because you never get something for nothing.

When in doubt, Google - that's my motto. So, I did just that.

And I found:

this: Dedroidify with the title, 'Beware...'

and

this: The Lensman's Children, 'Is there an echo in here?' - which was a very interesting post!!

and



So, my guess is that others have asked about these people, and McAfee is checking them out. So much for basking in the after-glow.

    1. Oh, no glow, L ... Eh bien peut-être pour une seconde ;) HAHAHAH!!!

      Je reçois beaucoup de spam aussi, mais celui-ci était un peu différent. Donc, j'ai eu à le vérifier.

      Ah well, one day... someone will visit and offer me tons and tons of money for nothing!!! Yah right!!! LOL

    1. Hi there JafaBrit's Art,

      I'm sorry for the so-late reply. I must have published your comment and forgotten to return here.

      I'm glad I helped you decide.

      'Working together', huh? I guess that'd mean: you work, and they... hmmm, what would they do?
