Sex, lies and SEO

Just who is Jay Smith and why is sending me spam?

Hi Paul, We just posted an article, “10 Modern Criminals Who’ve Made a Killing”, I thought I'd drop a quick line and let you know in case you thought it was something your audience would be interested in reading. (http://www.criminaljusticedegreesguide.com/features/10-modern-criminals-whove-made-a-killing.html) 
Thanks!Jay Smith

When I typed in the URL at whois.net, this is what I got:

WHOIS information for criminaljusticedegreesguide.com :

My next step was whois.domaintools.com. Here's what turned up:

According to aboutus.org, the site is located in Canada and the contact entity is NetVision. On the NetVision site are links to a host of worthless sites with the option to view the site in Dutch.

The website promotes itself as a guide to finding careers in criminal justice. But no matter which career you decide you are interested in, the same three schools are featured: Saint Leo University, American Intercontinental University and Arizona State University. Both SLU and AIU are online schools offering associate's degrees.

So, Jay, I'm sorry, but I have no interest in linking to your website, your article or anything else you're peddling.
