Hi JJJay,

I received that mail also, about a week ago.

Within it, Steve C nonted that he'd like to know how to advertise on one of my sites. Given that the email included no personal information or the name of my site (only the URL was included) and since there's an obvious link to my media kit on the front page of the site in question, I grew suspicious and have not yet responded.

If you contact Steve and he does turn out to be a real media buyer for FantaSearch, please let us know here. I imagine that if both of we received this, a few more Geek/Talkers would have done so as well.

Hi Czar,

Yes I also think the email was sent by a lurker to this forum, the email was sent to a 3 day old email address which hasn't been spamed yet and it did include the url of my website, it was a short email and I'm sure identical to yours, since I am looking for advertisers I replied back asking for further information. I will keep you up to date if anything comes out of it.

Regards Jason

Hi guys,

I also received that e-mail and after I asked for more info one of representative contact me with details.

They offer popups at 2$ CPM
Their popups are 100% copy of popups from celebritywonder.com. You can see example at:
http://www.fantasearch.com/sample.html

According to previous posts celebritywonder is a reliable company and I don't see any reason to go with newbie that offers absolutely the same service.

Just my 0,02$
