Is OSE data reliable and removal of malicious inbound links?

[BoulderJoe]

I ran a report on my site (www.rentscouter.com) using OSE and it is reporting some very strange inbound links like:

anchor text = Megan

anchor text = Alexa's Mom

anchor text =

However, none of these seem to show up in my Google Webmaster account.  And generally when I go to some of these links I can't find any reference to my site - is the OSE data bad or are these really shady links someone is building to knock down my site?

What is showing up in GWT are a bunch of growing crappy links that redirect to some advertising site - does anyone know of a way to get these removed by Google as I doubt I'm going have any luck trying to contact the owner(s) of these sites:

Yes, I know Google will theoretically and maybe eventually "ignore" such links, but that will be on Google time 4 weeks or 4 years - who knows.  Plus, with a younger site with a thinner link profile - anything like the links above can't be helping me......

I'm trying to figure out why my site keeps bouncing between #5 and #255 for specific keywords and determining if I have a google penalty which is being discussed in this thread:

If you have specific links which appear in OSE but not in Google, you can open a ticket with the SEOmoz help desk requesting more information. They can look at the OSE data and help determine if there is an issue with the Linkscape tool, or whether the data appears valid. Keep in mind the link could have been there a month ago when the crawl was performed and the page has changed since then.

As far as removing the links, the only course of action you have is to contact the webmasters involved with the links. If they choose to remove the links, they can help. If they choose not to honor your request, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Anyone with a website can make a link with the anchor text "this site sucks" and there is nothing you can do about it.

I'm experiencing the same problem, OSE seems to be throwing out a lot of malicious looking links that are pointing to my site but after inspecting them I can't see where the link is.

I'd be interested to know who else is seeing the same type of links being present to them in OSE. I think it's safe to say with two website operating in different industries, it's unlikey a black hat tactic of pointing spammy links to our site was employed.

In my opinion, if none of those show up in your google webmaster, chance is Google has already ignored those links ..
