Who will help you choose the limo?

[whitecati]

Very important for me to meet his old friend from the airport, and I will organise for him the best limo that would pick him up at the airport and bring her to me. I really want to please him and so ask you about that, did somebody or not? If you know what the most beautiful limousines, then tell me what kind of limousines do I choose. I had not seen my friend, so I want to meet as best as possible. What do you say?

This post seems a bit strange. If you live in Russia , why would you need a limo service in the US?? I have a feeling this is a sneaky way to post SPAM unless you have a good story to explain.

Looks like spam to me. I suggest you pull the trigger.

Haha, spam can be amusing. Link removed. Please do some effort next time and solicit a Japanese limo service.

I thought it would be good English practice for them to explain the whole story , LOL. I picture them thumbing through a Russian to English dictionary for an hour or getting Google to mangle a response for them. The idea of someone in Russia having to promote a limo service in New Jersey/New York seems like something you could make a TV or movie show about on how that connection came about. I was guessing a Russian cousin is a chauffeur for the limo outfit. My guess is I will never hear anything back and will file the thread under Gomibako. Boredom causes me to do weird stuff sometimes.

And what's even more puzzling: is that fortunate friend male or female?

... would pick him up at the airport and bring her to me...

Probably some terrible SEO company some New Jersey limo service hired to promote their website.

I looked into using a service for about 10 seconds before I realized anything within the budget of a small business is pretty much a waste. It's sad because the legitimate companies on all sides, both those who need the services and those providing the (legitimate) services, get a bad rep because of how providers like this operate. Garbage link building, spammy writing, etc. all farmed out to people who take a bad idea and manage to mangle it into something worse through poor English.

The money is tossed down a bottomless pit and all it does is turn off customers and make more work for everyone involved. Website owners like @thomas have to waste time policing, service owners like the limo company get a bad rep, and legitimate website promoting companies have to overcome the stigma of operating in a field full of amateurs who charge a fraction of what it costs to provide professional services that can actually offer a positive ROI.

I think it annoys me so much because I'm firmly of the opinion that people who don't know what they're doing are often more damaging than just plain scam artists. Any field which allows entry to people with no experience, qualifications, or skills tends to be a breeding ground for amateurs who unintentionally rip off people who are just looking to improve their lives.
