Annoying: Domainers with even crappier names

[domainsoup]

It's annoying enough to have decent domains sit on Sedo with offer views and no serious bids.

You know what's more annoying? When your domain doesn't sell but you keep getting e-mails from domainers with crappier variations of your domain, trying to sell them to you!

Ex: You own videoexample.com and it gets no serious offers. Then you get e-mails

"Dear Sir,
Would you be interested in videoexamplelivenow.com? Please respond back to me I am thinking of a modest fee for a completed transaction.

LOL I cannot even sell my domain name. But you want me to buy a crappier version from you? Ah, good old domaining.

Does it happen to you?

Domainers for the most part are opportunistic, buy low sell as high as possible to anyone thats possible.

I don't mind the spam emails but what I don't like is the lowballing cheap a$$ people who are simply predators with ones thing in mind, greed!!

People talk about a community of domainers blah blah how they should stick together, support it ,etc etc.

This supposed community exists but you and I ain't in it!!

So here's to all the lowballing sleazeballs who offer nothing and have zero taste in what a decent domain is!!
Gfy!!

When the name is close to a name I am selling. And my name is just mediocre, I actually have recommended the individual include my name if they are offering to companies and split the sale.

Have them do the leg work for you.

I was talking about spam emails that many of us get all the time saying basically "Hi I own a domain //////.com which is close to your -------.com. Would you like to buy it? When in fact they don't even have the domain registered, it's scam spam...

 

[domainsoup]

I've noticed a pattern. A lot of these e-mails come when their domain is going to drop soon. I wonder if you said you were interested if they would renew it?

 

[domainsoup]

Hey no offense but their domain makes a little more sense than yours,what makes you think its a good domain? Your new here welcome ,trying to save you money unless im missing something.

Are you the guy sending the e-mail?

The domain I posted is simply a example (hence the word example)

But I'd like to hear your explaination on how VideoExampleLiveNow is a better domain than VideoExample. I'll wait.

I don't think the people running those schemes are domainers. It's just another mass spam operation. They picked up where bellnames left, assuming it's not the same people still at the wheel.

Heck, it might even be the same people that keep trying to push their "Discount Prescription Drugs" and this could be another branch of their operation.

About a week or so I got a contact email from someone named "Michelle" who wanted to know if I was interested in purchasing a domain similar to one I own. After the usual short message there was another message at the bottom saying something about if I wasn't interested in the domain name, "Would I like to save hundreds of dollars a year on my phone bill?". I guess if they can't get you one way, maybe another will work. Funny thing is "Michelle" didn't seem to speak very good English as evident in the message.

It seems like a person can't go a day these days without coming across one scam or another.

Yeah, agree. Looks like it's based on some software going through soon to be expired domains and shooting mass emails to owners of related domains.

 

[ben pedri]

No ,no email and I was joking ,just saying they both are garbage

Most probably indian scammers using english names. Their spam is all over my trash folder.

Yup, all day long. And what is funny, few domainers from here are regular

Yeah, my spam folders are always full of this type of junk. I was thinking Chinese going by some of the wording, but could be anything.

Yes, I get these all the time and the worst part is when you think you might be getting an email from an end user inquiring about a domain and it is just another domainer spamming you with a junk domain they are trying to sell you. It drives me nuts.

 

[canswift]

I get these emails all the time too, usually in an English that is slightly "off" in word usage. Like asking me if I would be "curious" in owning this name. Took me a while to figure they meant "interested"… However, just occasionally they mention a name I am actually interested in and when I check I see it's expiring or pending delete. So I go ahead and catch it myself (thanks, spammer).

Well in that case its not a spam anymore

The worst spam I get is for SEO. I get 5 to 10 SEO and web design spam emails every day. Many are disguised as domain renewal notices. The most annoying part about it is that some of these clowns have started getting so pushy they are actually emailing me back demanding to know why I have not replied to their previous emails!!!

This is EXACTLY what keeps happening to me lately. These people are going to spam me with their service offers and get pushy with wanting me to reply. That's like a car salesman coming up and tackling you as you walk past and forcing you to tell them why you didn't come test drive their car after you walk past their car lot and looked at a car they had. Crazy!

LOL has happen to me PLENTY of times...
