Emails from domainers selling crap names

If he's from India, his real name might not be Andrew Brad.
Thanks for posting, it's a good example not to follow.
So he's trying to sell a TM domain right ? :O

I've received stupid emails like these too

I could go on but you get the picture :P

best regards,

Here is one dubious E-mail received today:

We have clasificados.co.uk and found that the domain is pretty useful for you to explore market. If you choose to, you can "brand" your business in internet. This attention-grabbing domain is easy for them to remember, encouraging them to visit your web site and buy your products or services.

Please let me know if you are interested. We could give a fair price and finish the transaction through escrow.com a international Domain trade agency !
Last I look forward to hearing back from you.
Thank you.

Note that they sign 'Domain Investment Services Inc' but another (Chinese) corporate name is mentioned too.
This is not Justin Godfrey's DIS here.
BTW the whois for the domain name in question is completely different.
It's not the first time we receive E-mail from these sp(c)ammers.

Re: toneca's letters ^^^

I receive those occasionally, saying they have a domain similar to one of mine (usually with either a different extension, or slight change of keywords, etc) and would I like to buy it to 'strengthen' the value of mine.

It actually worked out in my favor once. I regged the name ComicBookToMovie.com for an intended project of mine; not wanting to limit my project to comics entirely, I had wanted a shorter version but my ideal choice bookToMovie.com was already taken.

So a year later the spammer guys email me regarding my comicbooktomovie name and say they can sell me booktomovie if I want it. I check and booktomovie.com is available, it has dropped sometime recently. So I regged it, and let my comicbooktomovie.com expire. I never respond to the domain spammers. Obviously their plan was to only reg the name if they were sure someone was interested in it, and not reg it on spec. Which makes sense, only they have to take the chance that someone (like me) doesn't check to see if the name they are 'selling' is actually registered, ha ha.

Follow up to the story: within a month of regging this name (BookToMovie.com) I get 2 email offers for it, one for $300 and one for 500, from the US and from Canada. Both legit offers, we did the email dance, but I ended up not selling as I have plans for the name and wouldn't let go for cheap. I also regged BlogToMovie.com on the strength of that. Many books are made into movies, and now in the cyber age more and more blogs are being made into movies.

Funny, but it's one case where I appreciate the spammers letting me know (inadvertently) that a name I really wanted was available.

But the rest of the similar emails have just been boring, about total crap names.

I get 4-5 of these each day.

I always marked these as spam instantly. Now that I have a lot less domains and the spam filter has learned what to ignore I rarely get them anymore.

I really can't stand these, especially when there's such good advice on domain forums about how to construct a sales letter.

I am more surprised that people expect Domainers to be a special kind of salesmen, who are supposed to be more legit than your average pesky telemarketer who keeps calling you on your phone peddling just about anything from vacuum cleaners, to George Foreman barbeque grills.

I would expect that the more you are stuck with a domain that nobody wants to buy, the more aggressive you want to peddle it around to atleast dispose it and recover your capital back.

How can you people leave out assclown NowYo.com?

Persistent spammer, all day evey day

Never seen a worse pile of "generic" crap, the equivalent of "CheapBrownLeatherShoes.com"...oh it gets 20 actual searches per Google. LOL

Cancer is too good for that schmuck

wow, this is wall of shame.

I've always wanted the keywords mangos-teen....

And they have access to a lot of ip addresses. I have blocked a lot of them at my mail servers, but they keep popping up with new ones after they have burned out / gotten on blocklists the previous one(s). And they always come with a different "unsubscribe" domain.

Also, most of their IPs are out of the country.

Example: http://images.ip2location.com/49580612.png

They are undoubtedly mining whois info.

Forgot to mention. If you follow any of their links (from this particular spammer), they all go back to namebind.com

Namebind whois is private, but: http://whois.domaintools.com/namebind.com

Interesting.. No phone number listed.. Gee, isn't that against icann rules? Just sayin...

ashwinjohn.dn[at]gmail.com

Another spammer to add to your email account's 'blocked' list. Sent me a crappy CCC.org for sale, as well as including a bunch of other email addresses he bulk-mailed it to.
Edit: went back to my email, and he'd sent me a dozen more separate emails for crappy names. Each email had dozens of other domainer addresses in the text.
Wondered why my email blocker hadn't blocked those... and found out I'd typed it in wrong. Definitely add this annoying spammer to your address blocker, if you even get one email from him.

Nice wall of shame but doesnt all domainer send UNSOLICITED emails to their targets? So what makes these guys different? As long as they are REALLY selling REAL names I dont see why this is necessary?

<snark>
Yes but we all send emails about high quality names that will enhance an end users business (if they understood the internet - which none of them do by the way) and not the crappy names we receive from "spammers".
</snark>

I might post my email thread where I was offered a domain for sale (that wasn't regged but matched mine in different TLD) and convinced them I had enough interest that they registered it for $22 at which point I validated that there was no grace delete and walked away I enjoyed that

crappy names? I always thought beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. every domain got different value according to its owner..

not that im trying to save those spammers a$$ here but we domainers send UNSOLICITED mail and they are just trying to make a living and someone might have interest in those names.

I do hate recieving those crappy names and those domainers do end up in my spam box but lets not be too rude and I think we are all selling great names with wonderful potential.

To me, regardless of the fact that both send unsolicited emails (as I do myself, to end users), there seems to be a very clear and definite delineation between a domainer respectfully approaching me with a name I might be interested in, and a domainer mindlessly spamming me:

- professional domainer = sends me a relevant name, something that means something to my business, or at least is relevant to one or more of my other names.
= they send some personal words, even if it's just a couple short phrases, rather than a 'form email' that is obviously copied for mass mailing.
= they don't include a list of dozens or hundreds of other email addy's they're sending to.
= if I'm not interested, they politely stop bothering me.


- spam domainer = sends (usually multiple) names that have no relevance to my business, or any of the other domains I own.
= sends universally bad/cheap names that generally have no meaning to ANYONE except the one domainer dumb enough to think they are worth regging.
= sends form letter; usually poorly written, lots of exclamation marks and capitalized words telling me how valuable those awful names would be for me to own and use in my business - yet not even mentioning what my business is or how those domains would 'help'.
= keep sending spam after spam after spam. A good domainer approaching an end user will send that relevant name to a relevant end user, and if no reply they'll either let it go, or maybe send one follow up, and it will be just for that one domain of interest. Spammers keep sending irrelevant domain after domain to the same person, email after email.

Now, I'm not saying I want to kill anyone over this, I don't want to hurt spammers or anyone else. But I often wish this laptop was a virtual shotgun, and that it could send a virtual shotgun blast to the spammer's computer, and that computer would explode into shrapnel that demolishes every piece of electronic equipment they use to spam with. That would be a piece of software I'd buy.


As for sending unsolicited emails, I follow all my 'good domainer' points when approaching end users, one by one, and I avoid the 'spam domainer' tactics.

If you get to receive dozens upon dozens of these kind of domainer solicitation emails, believe me eventually they will all look the same. It won't matter anymore how they are written.

Nowadays, when i get domainer email sales pitches from my mailbox, i immediately cut all the cheese. I just look at the domain name. I'm already blind to all other words in the letter.

While some of you are annoyed about someone selling you an "irrelevant" domain. I am more amused that people are trying to sell me domains that are similar to the ones i have already developed. I mean, if my website is already a solid site, i really have no more use for any other similar sounding domain names.

For example, if my site is dogpoop, someone will try to sell me dogpiss, or catpoop. How much poop can an end-user do business with? What are the odds that if you already have a successful and popular poop site, that you will launch more poop sites on similar domains to compete with the ones you already own ?!?

Got this today:

Hi,

We own MORealtors.com , and I would like to know if you would have an interest in buying it, Domain is registered at Godaddy

Owning a strong keyword domain name can help you rank higher in search engines for the term, and I believe this is an important term to own.

I am sending this offer to several Realtors in Missouri and the first to reply will have the opportunity to buy the domain name.

I found your contact information via Google, and this is a one time individual email.

Kind

And maybe we should all post any email addy of spammers, and a hundred of us or so can each email them our names for sale. Like the idea, but then it's bound to backfire on us annoyingly - I certainly don't want more spammers to receive a big list of domainer email addy's - so forget it

Oh, and Realtor is a Trademark, protected by the NAR. :bah:

This is the funny part, as well.

Your domain is already for sale, and yet they want you to buy their domain. lol. Happened to me a lot of times. Which gave me a hint that these domainers are so busy peddling their domains, they never took the time to actually check the website of your domain (and see there's a large sign posted saying the domain is for sale).

Got one from somebody wanting me to buy Mor-ta-ge.com because it was about to be dropped. Said it was a 'Premium' domain......

Sent a response saying it had too many hyphens in all the wrong places to be considered premium.
