This sounds like a scam to me, it doesn't even mention your name directly, or your forum name, that makes me think it is an automatic spam e-mail. Maybe it's a bot that can take the url from a website you frequently visit? or maybe it took your email from your forum profile and that's why it mentions the compendium?

I haven't heard of it, but I'm kind of new around here... I have my email hidden here because I used to receive too much spam when I was a member in another forum and had my email visible, though I never received something as specific as this, so I dunno.

Looks like an extremely incompetent and lazy scammer trying to get you to buy unneeded SEO services (that will never materialize anyway) for a website that you don't even own. In a week or so, they'll realize they're wasting their time by sending an automated message in Swedish to people that they have no reason to believe understand the language, and move on to some other scam.

(There seems to be a general upsurge in spam going on right now--I've had three messages slip past my filters already today, and that's pretty rare. Give it a week or two, and it'll quiet down again.)
