I'm not sure if this is the right category to post in, but would like to make other aware of my recent fraud case, which luckily didn't get too far!
I was recently contacted by a "David Abramson", with regard to a domain I had listed for sale.
He emailed me asking how much I would accept for the domain, to which I replied and then also informed him that I had a further 21 domains I would like to sell too.
He came back with an offer, which I was happy with and told him I would accept.
His next reply was that I *have* to get all the domains manually appraised by a reputable appraisal company, along with a trademark check.
I told him I was not willing to do this, he was the buyer so it was his responsibility to check the value of the domains before making me an offer.
He continued to tell me that I MUST get the appraisals or we can not do business.
At this point I started doing a bit of digging around and noticed that his domain (web-name-service.com) was recently purchased and 301's to webhostingclue.com... maybe this was some sort of mask to make him look like an important person?
After a bit more searching I found a couple of testimonials (in Pastebin!!!!), which explained the seller had a good experience with him, AFTER they had got their site appraised.... (18 hours ago as of writing this, is when they were put up)....Something just seems too fishy to me... I've told him to stop contacting me or I shall put his domain in my mail fiter blacklist.
Any of you guys heard of this chap?
I wonder if he is mailing many people at the moment??
