Default Is there a Catch to selling these Probate Properties?

I got this solicitation today. What is the catch?

*******************

Hello,

I am the webmaster for 1800Probate.com. We are one of the largest probate organizations in the country. Our program has been getting a large amount of requests from people in your state looking for realtors to sell their deceased loved one's home. I did a Google search for related companies and came across you guys. I think that we could likely funnel the leads we are getting directly to you. We are not looking for a referral fee or any money in return, rather we would like to see if there is some way for us to partner. We figure this will be a great source of leads for your company and the leads will no longer inundate our employees. If you are interested, please feel free to give me a call at the number listed below or reply to this email.

Doing a google search for 1800proobate (the company, not the site) didn't yield many websites.

One is a blog, at southdakotainheritancecashadvance.blogspot.com/, which has a huge ad, and WAY down, is horribly written garbled ads for them to obtain keywords. If you leave the blog page, it gives you a popup asking if you want to do live chat with their 'agent'.

Their about page is tacky, and looks like a huge state directory (for each state's probate laws and lawyers).

I'd ask them for more details, but don't hold out for anything grand possibly?

FYI - I asked for details. All they wanted to do was exchange links.

The email sounded like it was more than they could offer.
