here i've got a question for you.
if the deal is equal or worthwhile to the publisher - then why are you receiving spam pitching you?

The people who are approaching you are pseudo link builders. They're really text link brokers. But they market themselves as link builders. What they do is spam site publishers seeking to arrange the sale of text links from a publishers site. They pay a nominal fee then resell those links for a greater amount.
Every once in awhile Google infiltrates and bans some of these networks. This is not invevitable. But you should consider the risk versus the rewards.
Another consideration is that violation of Google's webmaster policies can be a cause for removal from the AdSense program.

In the last week, I received four requests from four different people then realized they were all from the same company. Since I derive income primarily from Adsense, I'm not going to take any chances. Thanks so much confirming my gut feeling. I just didn't know how these folks worked.

Just so you can help to grow your wallet...
You should go out and look for companies that have an affiliate program, where you would get a percentage of a sale from products that are purchased from a referral by you (most commonly seen one would be those amazon book ads you see on so many sites).
Anyway, the thing about is that YOU will probably have to do the hard work looking for a quality affiliate program from a reputable site.
And, to make sure that google doesn't think you are selling selling links to pass PR, you will want to make sure those links are nofollow.
