Very common scam. Tell them after they pay you a big deposit you'll do the appraisal.

thank you a lot , I did not pay them

One of very good ol’ appraisal scam this is.

Those people are almost as annoying as the dude who sends out an invoice for Domain SEO Registration expiration. Here's more reference on domain certificate scam:

The domain name-audit .com was registered a month (01-15-20) ago. A recently registered domain in a solicitation email is a sure sign of a scam. Always check the whois info of the sender and any domain included in his email.

So the sender wanted copies in all languages? Yep, yah never know when that primitive, long-lost tribe in the inner recesses of the Amazon that talks in clicks and grunts will need a copy.

It's an old scam run by a relatively small group of losers scattered all over the planet (some free lancers jump in from time to time). Tell them to never contact you again and let them know you are sharing all their contact info on domainer blogs.

the same thing happened to me with a domain long ago, they made me an offer $ xx, xxx for a domain that is not worth $ xx, I researched on the web and discovered that it was a scam!!!

Tell him to buy the certificate and you will deduct the fees from the selling price.

when someone wants yer name... your not the guy who supposed to be payin somethin

remember this and u be ok

I got one from Israel! Offered 105000 Israel currency for a 1699 domain. I figured was a scam from their first line of the email. They ask the same plus a trademark to be done. Looks like been around for a while!!

It's a scam. They even have telegram groups with many fake reviews. Just say that this website looks like a scam and they will block you instantly.

Another scam method i encountered so far is; trying to use a fake website for crypto exchange. They will say something like; "The thing is I have all my funds on the cryptoexchange ... now. And problem is that I reached the monthly withdrawal limit there. Now i can send my funds only using internal exchange transfer, because I can't use the withdrawal until ..."
