I got a spam comment on my blog from these guys as well. I have nothing to show it was from foundagency, but it was definitely for allrealestate.co.nz. I had a look at their website, found they had an 0800 number, and gave them a few calls. Turns out they didn’t have anyone working there with the name of the person that was left in my blog comment – but I had to call a few times to make sure. The comment was some guy who was pretending he wanted to become a .net blogger. Total bullshit.

I believe Zak knew full well what was going on. I think he’s scamming you – but I’ll be happy to hear your thoughts when you return. When you go visit them, don’t be gulliable.

I got a similar spam for an NZ company over the weekend. It was for potofgoldnz.com. They pretended they were all interested in my post on exczema cream (my own spam 🙂 But they wanted a piece of the action so had to tell me all about their own product – and add a link to it. The phone call to them was a bit more expensive – no 0800 #.

These guys suck.
