| NamePros Member |  DomainSecondHand.com Email Threat! I recently was scammed into using DomainSecondHand.com's services. After emailing them for a refund I asked them a bit about the company and who does the appraisals. They gave me almost no information except to say the company was located in Ireland and Romania. After pushing for more information I received this email: Your site http://lintoninvestments.com/ looks fake. It has no links, no contact info, etc. We will check it through BBB. You stole the name from Linton, Larry C. - Linton Investment Enterprises. We will contact Larry for more information about you and your company. Google serach for "linton investments llc + morgan linton" shows no information. Now it's clear that we became victim of friendly charge back scheme. It was a learning experince for us. We asked you to send correspondence between you and the person who tricked you to use our services. You did not do that. It proves that you are a scammer who order commercial service for free. Your email will be black listed and you'll be reported. It's hard to believe that president of investment company can be tricked via email. We may spread information about "naive" president all over the Internet. Who will do business with such unprofessional person with small IQ? Or probably, you are not so naive and you've sent us a fake story to get a refund. We will start our own investigation on you and your practices. Your name will be listed in Google and other serach engines soon. Other merchants should be aware of your "online" practices. All yor future spam will be reported immediately. Sincerely, Shirley M. Leurquin Customer Support Pretty scary if you ask me. I responded letting them know that this was my company with a registered business address and phone number, registered in the state of Delaware. I don't have to hid my business...why do they? Now looks like they want to deface my business name online? Because I was scammed by them? |

| Domains my Dominion | It's probably the same people behind this: http://www.namepros.com/warnings-and...mains-com.html (Allfordomains.com) Common trait: the (free) toughguy E-mail addresses. Dispute all charges to your credit card, hopefully their merchant account will get terminated if there are enough complaints

| First Time Poster! | This &*## is using my name for his nefarious schemes. He is likely the guy who sent me an email about buying a name I control which. I didn't answer that email. I don't know if he was irritated about that, or if he just liked my name. It IS My name. I haven't found another like it in years of posting my last name searching for genealogy links. The name is stolenS Shirley M Leurquin is NOT a scammer. . |

| New Member | I almost got scammed before I found this Post. After purchasing a new domain name, I was approached by email below Hello, We are interested in domainname.com Your domain was for sale. Please let me know your price to sell. Our company is working on network protection and intrusin detection projects. So Internet names is just a part of our investment strategy. Looking forward to do business with you. Regards, Andrew Hegedus Vice President PHT Systems After waiting a bit and replying to it. Here is the next email that almost got me Hello, x USD. Ok. Do you sell domain with a web site or just name? If just name it's ok. Web site is not necessary. Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain appraisals. Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It's very important for me in terms of reselling too. But we must engage a valuation company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I trust. To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies in a forum http://domaintalk.ourplace.com/Archive/740681.htm Just check this posting. If, for example, the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly. It will be fair. I also hope you can give me 12% - 15% discount. After you send me valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to obtain it) we'll continue our negotiations. What is your preferred payment method: Escrow.com, International wire transfer, PayPal.com or something else? Hope we can come to an agreement fast. Looking forward to your reply. Because I was careful, I asked him to appraise it, using the company he was comfortable with and here is what I what I received. Sellers always provide buyers with valuations. This is a common practice. I don't trust $14 services like that GoDaddy's valuation service. Nobody will do a research for $14. We need a real manual service. I researched several companies and here are the results: I considered www.Afternic.com, but now it's clear their service is not reliable enough. Just read this: http://www.igoldrush.com/links3.htm "Capsule Review: After lots of complaints, Afternic is no longer a recommended service. We will re-review the service in the near future." Another complaint http://www.out-law.com/page-1630 I was told about manual research service from http://www.DomainMart.com but it's very expensive - $200/hour. Many experienced sellers suggested me www.DomainSecondHand.com as a trustworth manual service. Fortunately, it's not so expensive. This post is a little bit long, but I thought it would help. |

| NamePros Regular | Months ago I received the same (or very similar) e-mails as eryscx. I did not fall for it or get burned in any way, but it just galls me to think how many unsuspecting people actually do. This website/associates/affiliates should be exposed for what they are. .

| New Member | I received the same email, but different name. The email was from phrllc@phreaker.net from a guy named George Sterling: Hello, We are interested in XXXXXXXX.com Please let us know the your price and we will consider it. Our company is investing in High Tech and IT projects. Now the domain market is very attractive for us, since every business in the Internet requires a domain. Looking forward to do business with you. Regards, George Sterling President PHR LLC Can you accept 6,000 USD? Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name? Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary. Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain appraisals. Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It's very important for me in terms of reselling too. But we must engage a valuation company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I and my partners trust. To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies.

I smelled a rat on a the first email (President of a company named after his own email pop3 provider). Let's keep this thread alive so more of this content gets out there and anyone else who searches is likely to run into ths on Google. |

Hello,So let me also restate for SE's: this is a scam. As tazzzz7777 said, it's about you getting an appraisal from easynamesale.com. I must admit still though that it's a pretty clever scam if you ask me. The letters do not promote easynamesale directly. I was suspicious, but still answered to the 1st letter and this is what followed (exactly the same wording again as above). Can you accept 7,000 USD?So I did a Google search and here I am now, newbie member  Thanks again for posters above, thanks guys! This thread converted me to a member. Cheers, Lembit | |

Nobody will do business without it. I'm a businessman and have no intention of changing rules which help both parties to avoid additional risks. Of course, investors never take into account auto-generated vlauations. So manual valuation is a "must" too.

I'm looking forward to do business with you. __________________________________________________ _______________

| New Member |  **The Online Brokerage** Today, I received the following email with the same scam. I suspected that it was a scam right away, then looked to the forum for confirmation. Its awesome to a have a resource to which to turn for help, advice, and to contribute. THANK YOU ALL!! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ paulson@theonlinebrokerage.com Sorry for delay with answer. Our family was celebrating newborn child of my sister. Can you accept 5,000 USD? Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name? Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary. Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain appraisals. Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It's very important for me in terms of reselling too. But we must engage a valuation company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I and my partners trust. To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies. Please check this blog with suggestions from other sellers and buyers: http://domainblog.007sites.com/587412.htm If, for example, the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly. It will be fair. I also hope you can give me 12% - 15% discount. After you send me the valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to obtain it) we'll continue our negotiations. What is your preferred payment method: Escrow.com, International wire transfer, PayPal.com or something else? Hope we can come to an agreement fast. Looking forward to your reply. |
