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.

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

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..
