The site is "all-right" for a link, has "some" back links, you've approached them with a personal email but they've come back to you and it's clear as day all they're after is your money. After a while you accept the fact that the only way you're going to get a link off this site is by paying them and they come up a sum of money that is stupidly high and say something absolutely stupid like "I know what I can get in my market" I mean there are sites out there that only have about 300 backlinks and wanting people to pay £250 for a "guest post" Is there any tactics of cutting down these tall poppies and tell them that they're ripping people off and getting away with it???

My site is new and already I'm getting people being rude demanding I backlink to them, or spam emails that get sent to my junk folder faster then I can blink. If they just spent 5 minutes and looked at the sight and used some manners I'd probably link to them You nailed it right on the head when it comes to how not to link build.
