please remove me from your list. SEO is junk, and I can do it myself. This is an unsolicited commercial message, and is thus considered spam and is illegal per the Can Spam Act. I will be reporting your gmail account, and will be spreading the word on how your company uses these tactics.

Thanks for providing entertainment Sanjeev! Little does he know I already have the first result in google for my name, and that he spilled to me the list of emails for all his contacts!
Hi! Would you please remove my chat details with you , and promoting my name as a spammer thanks
Nope, I feel that SEO is a scam, plus you initiated contact with me. Plus, if your SEOing is so great, this post shouldn’t be a problem.
This is interesting. I’ve been having a problem with these spammers too. I recently replied to several of the emails they sent through my contact form and they sent back the url for http://www.clearpathtechnology.com which seems to be out of India. Perhaps they think it’s just good businesses to use spam and par for the course. Anyway, I intend to cause them some serious problems if they don’t stop because it is beginning to get irritating, to say the least. Here is a recent message I sent to them via the contact form on the above mentioned website:
“Hello. I recently responded to one of the many SEO spam emails I get and you replied with the URL to this website. I do not need your service and I am irritated by your unsolicited emails that go through the form on my website. I know you employ people to manually submit these emails to circumvent the bot traps and captcha methods. If your service is so good why must you use spam to get customers. Perhaps you think it is good business. I am only going to ask nicely once before I take other more drastic measures. I do not want any more of your emails that promise to deliver something I don’t need. It’s a nuisance. Stop doing it now! Tell all of your employees to stay away from http://www.macabrecadaver.com or there will be certain consequences in the future. Thank you. Good day. P.S. I find it interesting that you employ a Captcha on your form. How funny is that? Trying to stop spam bots are you? Hmm …”
