Question: Is Poetry!.com a scam website!?
I got an email:

Kirsty, Your Poetry Has Received The Best Poet Award!?

etc etc

it goes on with stuff like:

In honor of your distinction as one of the Best Poets of 2007, we have also commissioned special artists to design and produce a limited edition medallion--the Best Poet Award Medallion!. This finely crafted display piece celebrates the outstanding men and women who were invited to participate in this historic contest!. One side prominently displays one of the best poets ever, Edgar Allan Poe, while the other side features the Greek goddess of epic poetry and history, Clio!. This limited edition has deeply etched details in beautiful and ornate design!. If you are interested in acquiring one of these, you must place your order by the end of October!. Due to the limited number of medallions, we can only guarantee their availability for a short time!. And because we know how much everyone will enjoy the Best Poet Award Medallion, we have decided to package it along with the Best Poems and Poets Limited Edition Commemorative Pin!. This limited edition medallion will only cost you $74!.95, and we will include the Best Poems and Poets Limited Edition Commemorative Pin FREE (a $59!.95 value) with your order!

Kirsty, I was extremely delighted with your work, and I feel you deserve this type of recognition!. Many people write poetry for years and never obtain the level of artistry that is present in your work!. You should be very proud of your accomplishment!. We encourage you to keep striving to be the best and leading your local writing community by example!. When you proudly display your Best Poet Award Medallion and wear your Best Poems and Poets Limited Edition Commemorative Pin, you will be recognized the world over as an elite poet with an undying passion for poetry!.

Sincerely,

---------------
