New engine on the loose?

I got an email in all my accounts that are pointed to by my web pages. Any
page that had contact information received this message with the subject
stating something to the effect of "Is your web page a secret?" Then
proceeded to offer me a 'deal' to put my web pages on search engines for $85.
Something that took me all of about 30 minutes by going to the appropriate
page in yahoo.

I have as of yet to hunt down the address information and look through my
logs. Let us just hope that these junk-emailers pay attention to the
robots.txt files. Lest I may have to use them to learn how to use deny's
as I am getting more into firewall config... ;-)
