Someone who wants to buy ads on a... parked domain?

[thenext88]

I got an email almost 3 weeks asking if I would sell ad space... on a parked domain. My first thought was scam, so I just sent a reply asking why they would like to buy ad space on a parked domain, and maybe they would be interested in purchasing the domain itself. Today I received a reply, with a link (which I looked up in Google before going) that took me to some Spanish online casino. The email stated the desire to buy a text link.

The only thing is, I can't really find anything that links to the person's name, email, or website to any type of scam.

Has anyone received these before?

Never heird of this before. Pretty weird. How about using a pixel site and start selling pixels :p You never know you can be a millionaire. one pixel one pound.

I get these all the time (request for ads on parked domains). I just assumed it was spam and piped directly to /dev/nul.

Usually if people are interested, then they will get back to you again, so the /dev/nul is no big deal.

I have gotten a few of these as well.
