Important: Generic is not the scammer. Criminals are impersonating Generic to trick people. This page documents the scam so others can recognize it.

Unsolicited marketing pitch claiming the recipient's website has poor SEO rankings. The sender promises 'Page 1' rankings on Google in exchange for contact details or a reply, a common tactic for lead generation scams or low-quality service solicitation.

The scam script

Hover over amber-highlighted phrases to see why they're dangerous.

Dear [REDACTED] Team,

I recently reviewed your [REDACTED] and noticed it isn’t ranking well on Google for your service-related searches, which is a missed opportunity, as top sites attract far more leads and visibility.

With the right SEO strategies, we can boost your ranking, attract targeted visitors, and convert them into customers. Let's get you to page 1.

Job Offer Fraud

A 'Headhunter' using a personal Gmail account reaches out with a vague but high-level 'Senior AI Marketing' role. The email uses flattering, AI-generated-style language and lacks specific company details, characteristic of recruitment phishing designed to harvest resumes or transition into 'task' based fraud.
