Some of you may have noticed a bushel of emails coming into your inboxes from various “individuals” offering to bid on building you a new website! If you are actually in the market for a new site (or refurbishing your older one from the last 5 years or older), then you may be interested in what these emails have to say. However…. buyer beware.

-Check the FROM: email address, does it appear to be a valid company, or does it have odd characters or extensions on their domain instead of the expected .com?

-Is the grammar and word usage on the email seem out of joint, like it’s possibly from another country? Careful, it could be a scam. Even if it’s a valid offer, language barriers and time differences can make working on a project difficult!

-Is there an actual website at their domain showing you quality of their work? If not (or there is NO website there), then it’s probably a scam.
