Invite to register your gaming site
Hello,
My name is Vasco Rouw and I am the webmaster of a game toplist called http://top-game-sites.com.
This email is to invite you to sign up on Top Game Sites, so please
take a look on my site and hopefully register as I would really like your site on it.
Please dont think this just as regular spam, as I am searching the web by hand looking for websites that I like.
And I thought yours were very nice.
To make things more appealing to you, I am giving out one free Gold membership for a month.
We also have an Incentive Tracking option which will allow you to track who is voting and who is not voting when they visit Top-Game-Sites.com from your site. Some games did use this feature and we discovered that as many as 45% of their players aren't actually voting when they coming to the voting site!
To access this feature, simply login to your user control panel, and click the link 'Edit Account' and follow the instructions there
I hope that I will see you soon, and have good day.
Best regards
Vasco Rouw

Yes, they are illegal. For many other MMOs it is, too. This is also looks like a spam message, even if they say in it is not, considering that if they really were interested they would have contacted any obvious staff instead of making a post just to get attention for more hits.
And for the record, here is legal documentation stating it is in fact illegal to host private servers.
