This ebay auction sure looks like a scam in the making. I wouldn't pay half what this buyer with no trading history is bidding.

Anybody know the seller? I hope he knows what he's doing.

I would be very unsure about dealing with someone that has only 1 feedback. However new people do come into the market every day. As long as the seller demands to only use an escrow service, and not paypal he should be ok. I really hope he does so, with that much money involved.

True - and I hate to jump to conclusions. But unless I'm missing something, he's paying more than twice what you'd expect to see these names go for. That to me is an even bigger red flag than his lack of trader rating.

Escrow is definitely the way to go here.

And you got to think of the other people bidding the price up too... a bunch of scammers bidding on the same lot, or one big pocket donkey going up against a scammer...

dombastic is an unknown quantity at this point
male / female names

After more and more evidences .. This guy is definitely (should be a girl in this case) :

Name: Marian, Dorobantu
Address: bd tomis nr 68
City/State: Constanta, Constanta
Zip code: 8700
Country: Romania
Tel: 721328329[/QUOTE]

who told you it's a girl?
because of "marian"?

in most languages marian, florian, julian, christian are male names
ever heard about julian lennon?

and the female version would be
juliana, juliane, christine, kristina, kristine
mariana, marianna, marianne
(i know that in english there may be mary ann but originally there was a vowel at the end: ann was anna or anne)

in most cases, the female male forms end with -e or -a
male forms with a consonant, or -o in spanish/port./ital.

(of course, exceptions exist)

I told this before Marian is 100% a male name, Mariana would be a female name.

I will buy these for $276 if they are still available.
If so, please let me know your paypal e-mail (where I should send money). Also can you tell me which EuroDns information I should provide.

Thank you.

Hi Xxxxx,

Thanks for your interest. As you may know, there has been a lot of scams lately in the LLLL.com area. I am happy to sell you these names, but since you have no trader or post history here, we will need to use Moneybookers, Escrow, or you can make a wire transfer to my account. Paypal is just not safe. It is easy to set up accounts and I will split the fees.

Let me know how you'd like to proceed.

best,
Ken

There you have it. Ballsy, huh?

Well it doesn't look like he got too far. I alerted management and I see the account in question is now closed.

I checked and his one TR came from someone whose account is also now closed. The latter also had one TR - given by the first account.

Buncha chumps.

One of the members here pmed me about those two... I sent a report to management too. Getting really frustrating seeing how many scammers there are out there, but at least we know we're doing the best we can to protect Namepros members.

I got scammed out of XRAA.com in Sept of 2006. User paid with paypal from a stolen account. Nothing I could do about it... this was after 100+ domain sales via forums with no issues. Since then I have been extra careful with buyers.

The video is extremely blurry, I guess the point is that a member called "openareas" is a scammer.

It is really hard to read, I could probably make it all out visually if I really wanted to spend that much time on it. LOL

another alert: I would get an offer for a domain on SEDO and it would be accepted instantly by the buyer. However ..... I never logged into my SEDO account to accept this offer. Buyer paid for the domain already and SEDO is asking me to intiate a transfer request. Anyone else seen this?
