Interesting E-mail About My Graffiti Pics

[MarcoFromHouston]

I just got this e-mail. How do you guys think I should respond?

marco,
i am emailing you about your photos i saw on flickr.
currently i am trying to create and populate photo albums from Houston
and Austin for our new website VIMBY.com, which is launching in 9
days!!! we are mostly a video site, however second to our videos are the
photos. With your permission i would like to feature the graffiti album
at vimby.com
you can check us out at vimby.com (we have a splash site up now) or at
myspace.com/vimby

please let me know if this is cool with you. we cant compensate you
monetarily, but we can promise lots of traffic will pass your photos.

thanks so much

It looks legit. There's no money scam, the misspellings are fairly routine... the only question is, do you want to give up your photos (basically) for exposure? No one can really evaluate whether that's a good move or not, except yourself.

I would be willing as long as they allowed a watermark across them

They do allow that. I just didn't do it.
