Domain Appraisal Scam... Careful if you have a domain listed at Sedo
I recently received the following e-mail:
Quote:
Greetings!

****.com has been found via online auctions.

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.

I e-mailed him back, but I was immediately suspicious in part because the price of my domain was listed on Sedo. I googled him and found this:
http://www.scorpiono.com/the-daily-w...ers-good-deals

I got the same follow-up e-mail and it appears that he wants you to get the domain appraised at a site he's involved with. Just a heads up!

tucal is an unknown quantity at this point
He has sent me the same e-mails. There is a thread here on namepros. He has tried that scam many times.
