Most of you guys don't understand the whacked out offers we get, lately I've been hounded by a company that wants to pay us lots of money to put all our downloads into installers that install malware, spyware etc.

You may have come across such things before Cnet is a lover of installers with adware. Normally I just ignore such emails but these guys would not leave me alone.

Below shows you our stance and we take the same stance with our ads.

Offer
Hi,

First of all I am aware of the fact that you probably get a lot of emails. Only a few of these emails are worth the time to read- this is one of them.

My name is Retracted, I work at Web-Pick, an internet holdings company which is willing to pay lots of money for some premium traffic.

I dont have any intention of wasting your time; my company specializes in Ebooks, file sharing , torrents sites and photos site

Were constantly working with some of the biggest sites in the industry: Money whore1, Money whore2, Money whore3, Money whore4 and more..

We do that whiteout harming ux or reduce traffic

Im a 100% sure that you will find my offer very tempting and that I can make a lot of money for your site. I would love to test run our products and I will be happy to show you more examples of what it is exactly that we do.


I think the best way would be by using Skype, Can you tell me whats your Skype ID so he can add you directly?

Waiting to hear back.

Best regards,

Retracted

Hi Retracted,

I have gotten all the emails but have ignored them, hopefully after this response your company will cease contacting us. We have zero interest in packing our downloads with adware,spyware ridden toolbars and search hijacking software even with the promise of 'lots of money'.

We'd prefer to make no money than live with the fact we are profiting off something so unethical. The fact that the popular Anti-Malware tool Malwarebytes has your homepage blocked speaks for itself and the fact your site is still effected by the openssl exploit heartbleed makes me shudder.

I will be sure to avoid the sites you have listed.

All the best.

If you have a search hijack or adware the below tools found on bleeping computer are useful.

This bit cracked me up.


Seriously though it just shows how good this site is as a community to be honest. No wonder there is 1.6 million members and rising as this is the best website of its kind on the internet and that is simply down to all the staff members and generous, kind people that are part of this community.

Keep up the good work and keep telling these vile people who have no interest other than satisfying their own greed and egos where to go.

Hey man I'm sure babylon search is a gr8 search engine to some people once they get used to the fact they can't use any other.

I'm glad there are still people like you that take pride in their work, and not sale out for a quick buck.

Just like [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] there needs to be more company owners like you guys.

You're one of very few people who would actually reject an offer like that.

I'm glad you're not willing to put our users at risk by allowing them to download sketchy software for profit.

Made my day, truly a great guy sean.

For how many offers (which sounds like a lot) we are all truly grateful for what you do.

Keep the site going, there a lot of memories of great people on here which should remain

As SPEED & Tattoo have both said, there aren't that many people out there who'd do such a nice thing.
