   | Easynamesale.com SCAM!!! phrllc@phreaker.net BEWARE!! big scam. If you get an email from phrllc@phreaker.net from someone named George Sterling President ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/warnings-and-alerts/492270-easynamesale-com-scam-phrllc-phreaker-net.html PHR LLC Report is as spam or just throw away. This person acts as a buyer then directs you to a site (that is his own) to buy an appraisal first. This is a copy of the letter he sends: Hello, We are interested in xxxxxxx.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 |

 | Hello here are a new scam email and name from him beware From ceo@eliteinvestment.net "Hello, Your domain name has been found online. Please let us know your price. We make money on selling and buying names and sites. Now the domain business is very attractive. Looking forward to do business with you. Regards, Robert Gardos CEO Elite Investment" I gave him a price since there is no price on my sedo listing His second reply was: "I'm a reliable domain buyer and reseller. You can read about me in forums (ceo@eliteinvestment.net) http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=5280198 As you can see I really buy and sell names. User GolfStream_5 (my last domain seller) wrote about our deal. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=492270 **** euros. Ok. 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/Archive/420689.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." Big scam, there is no warning about this email yet on the net, he also link to fake forum (http://domainblog.007sites.com/Archive/420689.htm and http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=5280198) where he promotes his scam site easynamesale.com to make up you purchase overpriced fake apraisal. Beware |

| Another Alias Another Alias used by this guy Jeremy Marshall jmarshall@toughguy.net How about 15,000? Anyway, we both need independent valuation first. 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 wanted to engage AccurateDomains.com as appraiser but looks like this company has very bad reputation Just read this blog http://accuratedomains.blogspot.com/ So I'm not going to accept this fraudulent service. I also 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. It costs - $200/hour. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=492270 Many experienced sellers suggested me www.EasyNameSale.com as a trustworth manual service. They charge per name not per hour. I've read only positive comments about them. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Jeremy Marshall Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2008 2:11 AM Subject: Re: xxxx.mobi (sent 12/17/2008) I got a better offer, what have u got to offer. regards -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jeremy Marshall <jmarshall@toughguy.net> To Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 9:59:03 PM Subject: Re: xxx.mobi (sent 12/17/2008) 5000.

| Hi, If any of you have being tricked into purchasing his fake apparaisal ask for a charge back at plimus.com the cc processor, it seems like a serious compagny and the scammer will give you your money back because he doesn't want Plimus look at what happens to get his account closed, so be persistant even if he said he won' give your money back don't close the ticket. We should even contact Plimus with all the thread concerning this guy, he would be deeply ****ed |

| Too bad... I got a mail from Mr Myers yesterday and today he asked me to do this evaluation... And I thought someone would buy a domain...  By the way... at sunday I put my domains into sedo and yesterday mr myers wrote me. So he found me through sedo... By the way... if you get a domain into auction at sedo is it normal that the price is rising because other bidders are coming to it or should I wait until I have 2 or 3 interested people so they can bid higher? Greetings! Sebastian If someone is interested in the mail: Code: Hello, My name is Tom Myers and I'm interested in the domain mentioned in the subject line. I'm a cybersquatter but never use domains in bad faith etc. Working according the law is my policy. Some of my clients are interested in your domain. Please let me know your price.
