You would be very wrong.Not every domainer/part time domainer or entrepreneur uses forums like these.There will be a lot of people who do fall for these scams.

I received the same email, it is definitely a scam. If you care to read about my experience with this scam artist feel free: Domain Appraisal Scam Artist Poses As A Domain Buyer : DNPimping Domaining News, Tips, Tutorials, Videos

This person will eventually run into the wrong domainer and find himself paying a hefty penalty for this scam. Domain scams are now recognized by the authorities and can be convicted in the court of law. He'll eventually get busted.

It is a scam for sure and you got to be very careful and not to deal with such spam emails. Also mark such emails as Spam.
