Another Appraisal Scam email.

[DotWeekly]

Below is a Scam email that I just got. This has been around for awhile, but I just wanted to point it out again, since I just got this a couple seconds ago.

Hello,

Please email a price you can accept for your domain name.

Our company develops software for multiple video systems. Domain names is not our business but a new way to earn on reselling. We are going to buy domains to resell them at higher prices. Our company has a large database of clients interested in good domains.

If you offer more domains for sale with good reselling potential please email us your list.

Looking forward to do business with you.

I would definitely file a chargeback. If enough people challenge the charges these crooks will ultimately lose their merchant account.

 

[onlinegelir]

I actually fell into this scam.
But I have requested immediately a chargeback, upon realizing I was scammed.
I got my money back the same day.

I'm at five replies with this guy - now trading as Patrick Harrison, Chief Operations Officer, PHK Consulting, using [email protected] to email. He's quite generous, and appears to have a set of standard replies. I've gone down the sedo route of appraisal and things like that, but he is persistent. I'll see how long I can go. Any tips?
Thanks,
James

Yea, I got one from him too just now.

Just ignore

thanks for the headsup, so you need a Ph.D to scam? :lol:

This is the one I received .... at least he put in a decent $ amount.

Can you accept 7,000 USD?

Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name?

Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary.

Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain appraisals. Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It's very important for me in terms of reselling too. But we must engage a valuation company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I and my partners trust.

To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies.

Please check this blog:
http://domainmarket.007sites.com/Archive/419570.htm

If, for example, the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly. It will be fair. I also hope you can give me 12% - 15% discount.

After you send me the valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to obtain it) we'll continue our negotiations.

What is your preferred payment method: Escrow.com, International wire transfer, PayPal.com or something else?

Hope we can come to an agreement fast.

Looking forward to your reply.

Replied 3 days ago. Haven't heard anything beck yet

Salutations!

I am pleased you are interested in my domain. Sadly, I would not be able to consider offers below $1 500 000.00, as I am currently using this website for my business.

I wish you joyous luck with your investments.

God bless,
William J. Superman

lol look what I wrote back to this f#$#:

Not to discredit what your link shows, but I am not really impressed with some random blog on a sub domain of a site that has no ability to leave comments.

I will use godaddy for appraisal and the domain name aftermarket.

Is that up to your standards?

 

[gjvblack]

this guy is a known scammer. the domain @toughguy.net is used by the members part of the scamming

Yip [email protected] caught me out with an offer of 4500 pounds, 500 less than i asked for, but I opted for an appraisal from Sedo which I'm now waiting on. After that he said he couldn't accept one from them as I'm listed with them and their appraisal will be higher as they want 10% although we could use them as a broker... told him to get one himself and we'd compare the two, but he now says

"We both need independent valuation first.

Sellers always provide buyers with valuations. This is a common practice.

I don't trust $14 services like that GoDaddy's valuation service. Nobody
will do a research for $14. We need a real manual service.

I researched several companies and here are the results:

I wanted to engage AccurateDomains.com as appraiser but looks like this
company has very bad reputation
Just read this blog
http://accuratedomains.blogspot.com/
So I'm not going to accept this fraudulent service.

I also considered www.Afternic.com, but now it's clear their service is not
reliable enough.
Just read this:
http://www.igoldrush.com/links3.htm
"Capsule Review: After lots of complaints, Afternic is no longer a
recommended service. We will re-review the service in the near future."

Another complaint
http://www.out-law.com/page-1630


I was told about manual research service from http://www.DomainMart.com. It
costs - $200/hour.

Many experienced sellers suggested me www.EasyNameSale.com as a trustworth
manual service. They charge per name not per hour. I've read only positive
comments about them."

even bringing up other scams, the re-suggestion of www.EasyNameSale.com led me here...

I've told him I've gone for the $200 an hour one for now, as well as the Sedo one that's due back soon...

HE's back! I just got:

Should I make little joke from him? :talk:

I have a friend who is on the "other" side of this business. He's a legit opt-in and double opt-in publisher. I know what makes these guys shake in their boots... and unfortunately for him. He just spammed me... it took me about 15 minutes to be sure of what this mailer is up to, but I figured it out without too much trouble. I feel bad for those that actually paid this guy off, but I guess it's not that high of a price to pay. If you are interested in hitting back a little bit. Try here:
