| Hi Alex, I also received this email. Probably this person obtained your email in the whois.asia… I think who was obtained my email. I don’t know who he is, but also I don’t consider Spam, propably he only wanted to give to know his portfolio. Best Regards |

| To be honest, I don't mind those emails from time to time if they are advertising a name I may be interested it. It would be better however if they greeted you by name instead of a generic letter.

| Any email that I did not solicit is considered spam. And I have no .asia domains, no .mobi's and no .us's. And I like how he spelled uniques - unics If everybody would send emails to every domainer with their portfolio, it would be a huge mess. |

It's one thing to contact people in a certain Niche/Category over a particular domain - It's a whole different thing to Spam a huge list of people with something they have no interest in.

| If this person has an account here please ban him/her. I have gotten a bunch of these too. I don't own any asia domains nor would I ever want to. I told the twit that if they pay me I will take their asia domains then let them expire. There is another spammer trolling whois trying to hock ebay schemes - I've only received about 500 of those. It's base encoded so my email program is not recognizing them as spam. Kill a spammer and make the world a better place.
