Anyone deal with [email protected]?

wwwweb · Dec 15, 2017

Every few months this email pops up, same text, domain under privacy, they sourced a very old Whois backup, domain on lander, but same generic email.

[email protected]

Any ideas?

Hope you’re doing well
Can you tell me if this domain is for sale and the price?

Thanks
David B

I think it's someone in the domaining industry

I get similar mails (and also the exact same e-mail) but from a few different e-mail addresses. They NEVER respond to your response.

Spam.

they never respond - its either a pre appraisal scam or something else

It's not any kind of scam, it's just spam. Luckily I don't get them at my real landing page, but I have a mirror test site on a different domain name that has the same submission form on it, and I get spam regularly on that test site.

I considered taking the test site down, but as long as the spammers are happy spamming only the test site and not my actual landing page, it works for me.

When I receive the spam from the test site, they always put as the name some long series of jumbled letters and numbers, like
5a342262a94a0
and then put in what looks like a real email address, but may not be. Maybe the intent is to get you to email that email back, I don't know, really, how this sort of thing benefits the spammers.

It is more advanced than spam, because the domain they emailed me on has been under privacy for years, but they were able to email me at the original email where it was registered many years ago.

I can't see the motive behind it.

Maybe they are hoping you will email that email and the spam rap will be pinned on you.

This won't work for form submission spam, but any other spam you may report using
https://www.spamcop.net/sc
and get the spammers shut down.
If you run SPAMCOP you may find that the email did not come from the obviously visibly posted email address at all.

I believe it may be spam. I think awhile I go I got the same email for one of my LLLL.com's
Dude didn;t respond back.

Don't waste your time with this spammer, not sure what he wants he made some inquiries, he works for someone scalping portfolio names, won't respond, not sure the angle. It has to be someone within the industry.

Thanks web. . . lol, I honestly got all tingly thinking I could sell my domain for some quick crypto refueling, but. . . I did the viewdns search, then the google search, and so good that NP is there for us domainers with the background history

But for me it's still a good sign. IF YOU GET SPAMMED BY DAVID B, YOU KNOW YOU'RE DOMAINING CORRECTLY!

This person is not doing his/her homework. bdavid0020 at gmailcom has inquired about one-word domains I no longer own. This is a big waste of my time because I have to look them up to find I don't even own them. I no longer reply to gmail.com , hotmail.com , etc. If you are a domainer you should have a real working domain and if your not a domainer you should supply a phone number. I wish other domainers would not reply to "gmails" and emails without phone numbers. This would reduce these spams and increase legitimate inquiries.

Just received email from the same source, it does seem to be a pointless exercise on behalf of the sender.

It did not look right so googled and found this thread indexed.

tonyk2000 · Mar 16, 2018

My best guess is that for any domain he got a price for, he will then send emails to any and all "similar domain" owners offering the domain in question as his own but with 5x-10x-... price.

Does this even work? Cuz then we could just do this for our domains.

I get them all the time as well. They're a member here, I forgot who it is, but they made a thread or responded to a thread about it in the past.

Just got the same email. Anybody ever gotten a reply ?
