Black Hat SEO company offering rankings in 4 hours!

[strelitzia]

I contacted an SEO company today about getting my site optimised for google. The guy took my url and said he'd call back. Sure enough he did...promptly telling me to go to yahoo.co.uk and search for xmas gift ideas. Number one rank was this.. http://www.concept-websites.co.uk/xmas-gift-ideas.html a hijacked copy of my homepage which is actually www.strelitzia.co.uk - He said that it was to show that they could get me number one rankings!! This seems to be a bit of a dubious way to get No1 rankings, so i declined there services at £475 +VAT up front, and £125 per month.
The page they put on is still there 4 hours later and i'm worried it may get me penalised by google.
What do you think??

Regards
Steve

The saga continues.

There are no short cuts in this. You must work hard and put something on the table for people to take you & your site seriously.

Just cause you can spend money will not make you #1.

Yep, the only REAL way to get to the top is hard work.

If you are ready to run the risk of getting banned by Google and other search engines then you can go for that, other wise don't go for that. Once your site is banned or sandboxed than it is really tough to recover to from there. Rather work a little harder and spend a bit more time on SEO you will get the result. All the search engine will your effort and will give you the fruit.
