Greets all - and especially Valerie -
Over the last two months, I've received this same email. The gist of the letter is that this is THE website that schools are using for hiring DJ's and bands, etc.
I was wondering if any of you had received the same thing and if so, if you had gone so far as to inquire to see if it was legit?
I Googled the name and website, and this guy/person seems to be a spammer, given all the different links.
Here first are the Googled results:

Herein is the body of the email:
My name is Chris Glavin I run K12 Academics one of the most respected, recognized and trafficked education websites in the United States. As a small business owner I can understand you receive a ton of emails, both wanted and unwanted, on a daily basis. I would appreciate if you could take 5-10 minutes out of your busy schedule to read this email. If nothing else I hope you become aware of this website.
I would like to invite you to register your business for a profile listing in the DJ Services Directory on K12 Academics. The directory features DJ Services in the United States. It is the only national directory for Caterers on the internet. The directories will be targeted to schools looking for your services for events and prom season. It will be one of nine directories with a direct focus on prom season. More on this is mentioned below. The profile listing includes unlimited text and the option of including up to (5) images - (1) logo and (4) action shots.
Featuring: DJs & Bands in the United States
Profile Registration:

Prom Services: Given the scope, traffic and reputation of our website and the lack of resources for students and schools looking for services during prom season we are creating a section of K12 Academics entitled 'Prom Services'. It will feature national directories for Limos, Florists, DJs, Salons & Barbershops, Formal Wear Rentals, Photographers, Event Venues, Catering, Party Supplies & Spas. Parents, Students and schools in our network will be able to find services during prom season and for special events.

To be honest, after reading thru the different associated links found on Google, I'm more apt to believe that somebody paid some real cash for an email listing of businesses throughout the country.
Thoughts?
