  1. Well, this is interesting. I just received an e-mail from Beth Perry, reproduced below. I couldn’t get to her http://www.bethperry.com,, so I did a Google search on her name and found this site.

    And here’s her e-mail to me:

    I’m a web master, and I was just searching Google for demand pod portable storage. I found your domain, dvorkin.com ranked 9, which is pretty cool.

    My site is all about Business – Services, too . Maybe we should link up? I wouldn’t be stealing any of your sales, because all I do is write informational articles…not selling anything on my site at all. And most of my visitors write back to say that they love the fact that I only write good, quality info. As a matter of fact, I’ve got a pretty loyal following of people that come back over and over again (they use the site as a reference), so if you link to me, you should get some pretty good traffic from it—which is always nice.

    Anyway, let me know if you’d like to swap links. I’ve already linked to you, and will keep it up there for a few days until I hear back. Hope to hear from you soon!

    Yep, Beth is a busy woman these days…we just got one from her at work, and the Marketing Guy forwarded it to me to see if it was valid. Oh well…. Hope she chooses to bother someone else soon.

    sounds familiar?
    i got one too!

  5. Hey, me too!
    But now Beth is writing personals. I don’t do personals, so I could not make the connection. She’s really stretching now!

    There was a time (late 80s early 90s) when “internet for the masses” was in it’s infancy; Bix, Cis and a few others would have the bbs and moderators would kick out ill mannered sobs.

    Now you have some slime like “Beth whatever” which (yes which) might well be some male scammer; wonder if anybody tried to trace this sucker…

    I got one too – my boss wants me to contact her!

    I’m a web master, and I was just searching Google for estate institute real training.

    (what the heck is that! Is there “fake” training available?)

    My site is all about Business – Services, too .

  9. stvals webmaster

    got one too … she’s searching for preschool crafts this time … can’t steal our sales because we don’t really sell anything anyway.

    What’s her (his) deal? harvesting domain email addresses?

  10. ruth

    she sent me one and i don’t even own the domain. not only that but we don’t sell anything and she can’t have found us searching for entertainment as that is not what the content of the site is on.

    not sure quite what she/he is getting out of this though it would be interesting to know.

  11. Out of curiosity… has anyone come up with a good explanation of BethPerry? I can only think that it’s a pretty neat harvester. What confuses me is whoever it was who said they’d got another message back after replying to BP. I can’t think what purpose that would satisfy for a harvester… thay’ve got your email address, why should they carry on talking to you?

    PS. Like the bulk of people on this thread, I never respond to unsolicited stuff until I’ve checked it out. It’s quite amusing how devious some of the scams are getting.
