   Tegger to All   
   Somebody wants to buy my Website, believ   
   30 May 12 18:26:05   
   
   From: invalid@example.com   
      
   I'm not joking. This guy in the UK says he wants to obtain a site in the   
   "niche" my site covers, and one of the ones he's interested in is mine   
   (tegger.com)   
      
   He's said he needs some traffic information before he can offer me a price,   
   so I've sent him a bunch of reports from my provider on things like   
   Pageviews, Hits, etc. Apparently what I've sent isn't quite enough, since   
   it lacks Uniques (unavailable, apparently), and some other things.   
      
   The guy has asked me to put Google Analytics on the top 20 pages so he can   
   do some more in-depth tracking. I sent him the relevant HTML files, and   
   when he sends back the altered versions, I'm to replace my originals with   
   his. After that, he'll know whether or not he for sure wants to buy the   
   site, and how much he'd offer for it.   
      
   At this point, no money has changed hands, I still have ownership, and my   
   files are unaltered.   
      
   Does this whole thing sound legitimate, or am I setting myself up for some   
   kind of scam?
