[LINK] Gambling industry seeking to promote sports betting via websites

[Tom Worthington]

I received this disturbing email, offering payment for including 
promotions for betting on my website:

     "... I am a freelancer working with several big agencies together 
and came during my research onto your website. It would be a pleasure to 
publish an article on your site that perfectly matches the subject of 
your site. In this/our article that is related to the subject of your 
site we would like to integrate a dofollow link to our customers site 
and a small picture. Our customer is engaged in the gambling 
industry/society. The correct article however can be discussed at a 
later stage. As mentioned the article should provide an additional value 
to the core audience of your site. On the brink of that article we would 
just write a few words about our customer from the gambling industry 
(sports bets / casino). We are also happy either to have the article 
written by you or if you wish we can send you a complete version. May I 
please point strongly out that it is NOT meant the article to be marked 
as an advertisement, promotion, advertorial etc.

     Is that something you offer or can accomodate me with and if the 
answer would be positive what would the cost be annually? In case you 
operate more sites than the one I enquire about and that serve my 
requirements please do not hesitate to offer me those.

     I am looking forward to hearing from you.

     Kind regards ..."
