Scammers Stealing Content
I received this email the other day:
”Hello,
“My name is Natia From Unlimitedmarketing.net and while researching my latest article, I found your article and it looks similar and related to our article. If you publish it and it's paid could you give us a Link insertion price, and any content terms or requirements? We may be interested in submitting a good quality article with your specified title and keyword if you will give us one informal link from UM.
“P.S. I wondered if you accept sponsors on your homepage with a do-follow backlink. Please let us know more details and we can cooperate for sure”
The link that followed took me to an article on her site . . . and it was virtually word-for-word MY original article. They changed the graphic and a few words here and there.
The GALL of these scammers just always astonishes me.

If it is your content you can report it to Google and have it taken down.
However, it doesn't make sense why you received that correspondence.
I just reported it to Google. Thanks for the suggestion. It was easy to do.
It looks to me like someone just had an AI grab random stuff off the web and tweak it a bit with synonyms here and there. Annoying.

Wow, the audacity of it all, Don! Hope you get that sorted out!

I submitted the form, and it's pretty obvious, so - fingers crossed! Though I can't imagine this other side outranking me. I have 8 years head-start.
