It occurs to me that this mail itself is potentially spam advertising. Note:
1) Attempt to create fear (oh no I have a broken link, or a server problem) to get attention and then transition to unrelated request 2) Inclusion of a mention of a *commercial* web site 3) The request clearly doesn't make sense considering the pages linked. 4) extremely generic lead in "contact you regarding some issues I had on your website" that would work for any site. 5) The sender is sending from uscmailing.org? probably meant to make one think it's related to USC university, but the domain is registered in Iceland.
