ebrnetwork.com - Embryo scam ?
 

Received today.

Domain registered early December, to 'Sergey Karpov' in
Kiev Ukraine. Within a week of creation, a nice
western name 'Eric Rowe' is writing on behalf of 'clients'.

Appraisal request to follow ?
I need a break, it's nearly Christmas.

Cheers all.

I got the same email, and found this site by searching on ebrnetwork. Totally bogus, but it had me fooled for a couple minutes.

I got the same email. At least I know it was a fake even though I wasn't going to sell that particular domain anyway.

ebrnetwork.com alias Erice Rowe
 

We received similar offer to buy domain name we own. we sent email back saying we would sell it for $10 MM. He came back with email telling to send banking info right away, because he wanted to complete transaction before year end since a write off anyway.

Crapola. Doggonit, initial letter had me fooled, because he inquired about my favorite domain. After replying, the little bells started gently ringing in my head, and I came here and searched for 'eric rowe'.

Crapola, again.

Hello,

I have a client who's working on a new project and
would be interested in purchasing your domain name, "***********.com".

Would you be willing to sell?

Please reply with any interest at your earliest
convenience.

If you could give me a price or ballpark figure to
take back to my client that would be great as well.

Thank you,

Eric Rowe

Hmm.....
 

Interesting, I got one of these emails a while ago too and just googled it again today and came up with this as the first search result for ebrnetwork.com:

Direct link to a PDF file for the annual meeting of scarboroughcrossroads.org to take place on Feb. 28th, 2006.

Google cache of the same PDF file only in HTML format, but this one has a different agenda item #2:

2) Offer to purchase domain name scarboroughmaine.com from Eric Rowe,
EBRNETWORK.com on behalf of a client.

Very interesting..
