I am new to the blogging world. Though I had a blog few years ago and was active here on Indiblogger too, I later moved away from blogging. After a 4 year break I decided to take up blogging and started a new blog. Lots of things have changed and I am a newbie now :)
Coming to the topic, I have a write for us page in my blog and I am looking for genuine articles. But I have been getting emails from random people offering their articles. They don't own a blog. First one was a lady from UK asking if she could write a parenting article for me and I was OK. She sent me a genuine article and I checked my best online and it was not palagarized. However, except her Google profile she did not give me any of her social profiles and I couldn't verify her identity. All she wanted was a link back to the cleaning company she was working at. And her Google plus profile had no friends!!!
Later on I have been getting many such requests. Latest I got was a fashion and beauty article from a lady claiming to be blogger at a Pakistan Beauty Blog. But I couldn't find any of her articles there. So I asked her links to her social media profiles and links to her previous articles, she seemed to be pissed off. All she gave me was a twitter profile with 6 followers!!
What could be the motive of these people?? Any one experienced similar issues???
