                                   Odd spam

Sometimes I'll get a spam that intrigues me, and this one received several
days ago was one of those:

It's not often I get email asking to write content for my site for seemingly
nothing in return. Well, most likely it's a link back to their website or
something, but still, something about this made me check out the website.

Milo Dlacour does not appear to warrant a mention on their website [1]. How
odd.

I would have put this out of my mind as a “random semi-odd piece of spam” if
it wasn't for this spam the next day:

Again, the free offer for content for my site, the call to “discuss things”
but this time, Ryan Atkin is listed on their website [2].

While the two [3] websites [4] certainly look different, to me, they feel the
same. The spams are very similar to each other, so much that I'm wondering if
it's the same company. And I can't quite figure out the angle they're going
for here. It's very strange.
