I can categorically state that I am not Phil Lee
I receive a lot of spam from PR companies, processed goods manufacturers and publishers of which I read none, but over the last few weeks, it has started arriving from Oslo. Maybe I’m big in Norway, I thought, like troll metal or fermented trout. Then I received something loosely personalised:
I saw that your book “The Rough Guide to Norway ” is coming out shorty and picking up steam via Barnes & Noble’s popularity chart. I wanted to pitch you an incredible way to build more buzz and keep the momentum moving. (this won’t cost you anything)
As much as I am interested in which shorty is coming out, just a small tip: read the About page of a blog before firing off spam. Or even better, don’t send PR spam at all.
Hi Not Phil, I saw that your blog post “I am not Phill Lee ”has come out and is picking up steam via Aust Food Blogs Top 100 popularity chart. I wanted to pitch you an incredible way to build more buzz and keep the momentum moving. (this won’t cost you anything)
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter
SUCKED IN PHILL! It was me, Steve all along! You really should be more careful!
