Strange Email check it out!

Got this this morning, from a phreaker.net email address.

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.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/warnings-and-alerts/549001-strange-email-check-it-out.html

Some of my clients are interested in your domain. Please let me know your
price. If you have other good names just send me the list with prices.

Looking forward to do business with you.

Regards,
Tom Myers
Independent Cybersquatter

anyone have any idea what the heck this is?

That url is down but this info on it. Anyone make sense of this?

phreaker.net is a domain controlled by two nameservers at jerky.net. They are on different IP networks. Incoming mail for phreaker.net is handled by three mailservers having a total of three IP numbers. There are six duplicate ipnumbers. Some of them are on the same IP network. phreaker.net has one IP record. hotpop.com, bonbon.net, gamebox.net, punkass.com, toughguy.net and at least two other hosts point to the same IP. jns.net, ajah.com, jerky.net, hotpop.com, bonbon.net and at least 15 other hosts share nameservers with this domain. mx1.phreaker.net, mx2.phreaker.net, pop.phreaker.net, mx3.phreaker.net and pop1.phreaker.net are subdomains to this hostname.

Hahaha that's pretty funny. Hard to say if this guy is just trying to be silly or just has everything upside down.

Baiting you into admitting to cyber squatting or condoning the practice.
Maybe even a boast about how you flip TM names or something.
Perhaps setting you up for litigations later.

If the name is not TMed I would go clinical on them and be tight with info.
Offer terms and make the sale. Nothing more ...nothing less. If it is TMed
or even debatably infringing I would not reply.

Good Luck

Although a clear spam/scam email, he is being honest to a point saying he does sybersquat , just a different tactic that all

Yep, I was just going to write about the Appraisal Scam email.. It's the same dude! http://www.dotweekly.com/2008/12/29/...praisal-scams/

The Toughguy.net domain was a dead giveaway.
