RE: odd enquiry

That is a scare tactic used by unethical hackers to get your money, possibly your personal data, and quite possibly to steal your identity. Ignore it and block them from contacting you again. It has nothing to do with the validator, they are simply using it as a tool to scare the ignorant into giving them their personal data. It's phishing:

You can report them to the communications agency in your country as spam/scammers. DO NOT respond to the hackers directly.

Good day,

I am a small local business who has a web site.

An IT company called me up to discuss my web site and told me for a small fee they could clean up my web page https://aliemcore.com/ they sent me to https://validator.w3.org/ and showed me 49 errors !!! which of course concerned me.  However  I noted that the majority of the errors were from scripts sent to me directly from google? They went on to suggest that if I didn’t get this sorted there was a high probability that Google would black list me.

Note Google script is

<!-- Google Tag Manager -->
<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l]..push({'gtm.start':


W3 validator said

[Error] Line 11, Column 8: required attribute "type" not specified

<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start':

✉<https://validator.w3.org/feedback.html?uri=https%3A%2F%2Faliemcore.com%2F;errmsg_id=127#errormsg>

The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.

Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>.


This concerns me as I want to get my page organically to the top but don’t want to be making significant mistakes.


Can I get some advice
