If anyone wants 50% off a spa day, hit me up. I have a code that's good for 1,000 people.
I've received an emails with people requesting bank details to send me $xx,xxxx .
I've one domain where if I point it to mail servers I'll collect about 100 cvs per day. Another domain I've had to refund about 2 dozen paypal payments. The list goes on an on. Most of these are previously developed domains, some are cases where I own the .com of the cctld holder.
This one I'll never forget.
In one case I felt the cctld holder was putting a userbase of 60,000 people at risk by ignoring the .com. I mailed them and explained that I was about to put the name on the market, if it got into the hands of someone looking to profit through nefarious activities they could be leaving themselves wide open to huge security risks.
It earned me a buck a day in revenue and I offered it to them for $150, I just asked that they compensate me for my time and out of pocket expenses. Some traffic was leakage from their cctld and some of it was from a previous developed site.
The mail was forwarded to various departments and I had some brief communication but I never heard back from them again.
It never ceases to amaze me just how ignorant end users can be. Small operations you can understand, but large IT infrastructures and companies have no excuse to be this ignorant. I sold that name mid $xxx to someone else.
