Regarding domain name: XXXXXX.com

Hi there I have recently inherited a considerable amount of money I would like
to buy as many domain names as possible as I believe it will in the long term
give me the best return on my investment., I am interested In buying this
particular domain name but if you have any more I would also like to view them
as well. However I was wondering if you would send me a valuation or appraisal
certificate, I do not trust the afternic service and have found that there
appraisal is not accurate and have overpaid before due to there valuation. I
would prefer it if you get it valued with Adam Davis from www.afd.name, as I
have used him in the past and he is a more personal appraiser and is better
value for money than other appraisal services. So if you get a valuation I will
be happy to start negotiating a price for the domain with you.

Boy...they are getting lazier with their creativity in these scams.
That said I am sure more than a few novice resellers might trip into the trap...
Nice to be kept abreast of the scams...

Thanks Dennis
