I received an email for buying a domain name that is still available for registration

Seller said he will setup the buy now page for Usd 150 if I confirm payment...but actually that domain is still unregistered

What a scam again...beware

I usually reply saying that I'm really interested and let them buy the domain before ghosting them :xf.smile:

Payment is required upfront. So many get fooled and pay up

Id follow them and register anything decent they come up with.

This is exactly how Verisign managed to get over 140 million registrations in .com!

I think the person is just trying to be a smart nut job. Not really a scam

I often get emails of offers for similiar domains I own or exact match but different TLD. Most of the time they are not registered yet. I think they are hoping you dont know how to do a lookup and will you pay them and then they will buy it for you, pocketing the profits.
