 | IMO this is another appraisal scam. (Like name-botique.com which is very well discussed in the same forum)

| Same here, offer for my .com just 24 hours after listing it on Sedo... from Mr. Perelman. Seeing as to how nobody appears to have closed a deal with this "firm" I think we can safely assume it's an appraisal scam phishing attempt... Sigh.

| Same here: Initial email: ------ Hello, We want to purchase your domain. Our company is in hosting and domain name business. Please email us your desired price in USD or euros for the domain name in the subject line. If you have other names for sale please email us your domains with prices.

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://www.thenamepros.com/Archive/617420369.htm Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name? Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary. 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. |

| I'm aware this thread is old but he's sending out fresh emails so this is mainly for the noobs so they are warned. Plus I'm mounting a counter attack in my own way. I have a way to fight him back but it's not for everybody. I had a fight with Google over my adwords ads and was arguing with them for a few hours sending emails back and forth. Well the same day within hours they cancelled my adsense account for suspicious activity. Said I was sending invalid clicks. Strange that it happened the same time I was having a heated argument over running my ads in adwords and I never clicked one ad. Anyway to make a long story short I no longer have an Adsense account. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=738520 What does it have to do with this scammer you ask? The page he sends you to is a fake static html forum page with authentic links to the real forum to make it look legit. Just that one page is fake with hyphenated urls instead of the real url. It's running his Adsense ads on it. I just clicked his adsense ads about 200 times. If you have a suspended adsense account then you can do the same. They take that very seriously and will suspend his account too. I don't suggest you do that if you have a good adense account since they track IPs and may disable you too. But since I no longer have anything to worry about......  I'm going back to click more. Don't worry about running up his cash, google only counts a few clicks from an IP before they stop counting them as valid clicks. But they keep counting the invalid ones looking for frauduant activivity. I don't know how many sites he has but I think hurting his adsense account will hurt his pockets a lot. Just a suggestion. |

| They don't care if Google picks up their scam. They keep sending the carbon copy e-mail because it's working. It'll stop when people learn that buyers should be paying for the appraisal. Not the other way around.

| Just my friend got mail from this company. (My friend registered his very first domain only 2 days back) Seems the scammer is harvesting email ids from new domain registrations and doing it for a very long time.
