There are legit brokers for smaller webmasters, and also brokers for bigger sites who buy links all the time.
These scammers rely on that optic so they can play middle man. I always tell people to contact the site owner directly through an email or contact found on the site.
If there's a broker involved, a real one will prove the link is available/live before money is sent.
Think about this: what harm is there to adding a link for 24 hours to get payment (if they don't pay, you simply take it down.. easy)?
None, so why would scammers demand money before the link is added?
