<p>If any of you receive the emails below from a certain Chad Horton, be aware that it is a scam.&#0160; Don&#39;t believe me?&#0160; Check out <a href="http://bloggersrepent.blogspot.com/2006/06/blogger-thy-name-is-patsy.html">Blog Antagonist</a> and her commenters (who actually did some research on them and stuff).</p>

<p>I knew that it was a scam because an acquaintance of mine somehow signed up for something from SMS.ac and I received dozens of sketchy emails from SMS.ac as a result.&#0160; They annoyed me so much that I of course refuse to even consider reading their requests.&#0160; But when I saw Blog Antagonist&#39;s post on this I realized that I should spread the word as well.</p>

<p>What scammer is stupid enough to target Bloggers anyways?&#0160; I mean, we tell the entire internet EVERYTHING, including the fact that our child drinks toilet water.&#0160; Ahem.</p><blockquote><p><em>Hi, <br /><br /> I have not heard back from you in regards to my email below, so I wanted to check with you to see if you are interested in publishing your existing blog on SMS.ac.&#0160; <br /><br />If you are not interested and wish to stop receiving emails, please do let me know.<br /><br /><br /> Let me know if you have any questions, and have a great day!<br /><br /> Best Regards, <br /><br /><br /> Chad Horton <br /> Blog Pod Development Team <br /> SMS.ac Inc. <br />619-696-1376 <br /> 255 G Street, #723 | San Diego, CA, 92101 | USA<br /><br /><br /><br />Hi,<br /> <br />I saw your blog on and thought you would be interested in publishing it on SMS.ac.&#0160; You can get your blog in front of 50 million readers worldwide, and get paid when users subscribe to it.<br /> <br />We have a Blog Wizard that makes it very easy to sync your SMS.ac and blog accounts.&#0160; You retain the rights to all your content, and there is no need to make any changes to the way you blog.&#0160; Simply post new entries as you normally would, and the new content is automatically updated and displayed on SMS.ac.<br /> <br />Your readers continue to view the same version of your blog, and SMS.ac users can subscribe to it from our directory.
