I Just Received A Hilarious Email. Anybody Else Get An Email Like This?

I was checking my email today and I saw an email titled "I Found Out Your Clickbank Product Is A Scam". Well, I was obviously intrigued, especially since I know my product is not a scam, but I read the email to see what it was about.

Here is what the email said:

"Hello,
My name is [name removed]. I recently came across a clickbank product that had unfavorable reviews in search engines under the keyword phrase product + scam and product + review.

The product was getting flamed by previous buyers and internet marketers bashing them to sell another affiliate product, and so on. I tested the product and found it to be quite useful and accurate in its claims.

I run an article marketing company and one of the services we offer is search engine flaming reduction. We put our skills to work and after two weeks, we had positive and real reviews indexed on the frontpage of Google for that client.

Is your product a scam? Does it really work?

If you have negative reviews in search engines, I’m sure they’re killing your conversions or at the least, you’re not performing as well as you could be. I’d like to help you.

Or maybe you don’t have any negative reviews and your product is golden. Well beware, because as your product increases in popularity unscrupulous internet marketers will write negative reviews about your product and bash you in an attempt to turn around and sell a competing product. I’ve seen this happen time and time again. In this case, you need positive reviews right now to counteract any negative reviews that will come up in the future. Not to mention having positive reviews in search engines gives your product credibility and higher conversion rates.

Please reply back a.s.a.p.

Upon hearing back from you, I’ll answer any questions you may have and most importantly I’ll give you the link to our site. I’d give it to you now, but I don’t want you to think I’m spamming you."

Lol. I just released my product very recently, and I have not promoted it at all, and I only have a few affiliates sending traffic, and the affliates have only sent 3 sales.

I did a Google search for product name + scam, and there was not ONE SINGE RESULT about my product. There were products with similar names, but not one about my product. I also did a search for reviews on my product and again, there were no results.

I don't know what the heck this is about, but you'd think if you were going to send out an email like this, you would at least send it out to someone who has a product with bad reviews. I don't have any reviews, never mind bad ones.

Has anyone else received similar emails to this?

It was obviously a mass spam email to product owners. That's why they included this paragraph.

"Or maybe you don’t have any negative reviews and your product is golden.

What a load of crap! And on top of that, 99% of the "Is the [ProductX] a scam?" reviews are actually scam positive review sites for the product. So there is nothing to worry about anyway.

But whoever wrote it, has some mind and stuff of his/her own. The things presented are real, but they are exaggerated. People like me know anybody can do faker reviews for competitor products to put them in bad light, so I dont rely on reviews alone to make purchasing decisions. But some people do read ther eviews, and if some fake reviews say that product is a scam, this product is a scam, buy this instad, they tend to follow that advice. Then you will need to hire a copywriter to do fake good reviews about your product, which is what that guy is writing about,.
