Problem with SOME Indian based SEO companies, HELP!

[MassivePrime]

First of all I want to say that I hire 2 great Indian SEOs at my company and this question is in no way meant to offend, or single anyone out.

However

It's come to a point where the amount of emails we receive for "Ethical SEO, High PR Guaranteed Link building Services, SEO professionals etc" from Indian based companies is costing us a lot of time on a daily basis to filter out spam from real enquiries.

Blocking their emails is not even working as they use gmail accounts and multiple domain emails so we can't keep up with them.

I have even spoken to some of the owners of these 'companies' and they admit using different email accounts so as not to be blacklisted.

They also seem to believe that the opt-out option (which is legally required when sending out promotional emails) is itself optional!!!!!

Now when I asked how exactly they were getting my email they said that they get info from the, and I quote "first page of Google"!!!!!

So my question is the following; is there anyway I can block my site from showing up in a particular country altogether?

Again this is in no way attacking ALL Indian based SEO companies, my beef is with the 74 (we counted) different 'companies' that are flooding our email with offers

P.S. Is anyone else having these issues?

I think everyone gets these if you are ranking well. When i was on the first page for my terms i'd get all kinds. Even worse, they'd fill out my contact form posing as clients then in the body they'd describe some service they were offering, very annoying.

That's exactly what is happening to us, is there ANY way at all to block our site from appearing in a certain country completely?

Google GeoIP and you should get lots of info and resources. Maxmind, countryipblock, etc.

Keep in mind, that by doing this you could also block those from India you are farming work out to.
