I am guessing this is another scam. Would anyone let me know what the angle is? I got an email that says:

Dear Sir,

We are looking up some domains that have great of traffic.

If you consider to sell XXXXX.com or any other domains, please feel free to contact us.

Hopefully you might give us an offer and traffic number.

If this email troubles to you, please let us know.

We do apology for it.

Best Regards,
Jeff

send them an email and find out.

My guess is, they'll probably ask you to pay for an appraisal.

Yup..I'm thinking this is the initial email you are getting before they try to pitch the old appraisal scam on you.

That would at least overcome the unsolicited problem, apart from the very first email of course :)

Is it a name that one would reasonable think has traffic?

Angle guess. 1) appraisal scam 2) someone looking for parking names cheap 3) 'any other domains' trying to be the first person to get their hands on a not on the market surprise name.

Thanks so much, guys. Probably the appraisal scam. Given the language skills of this person I doubt they will be very sophisticated. I'll write back to see what he does. The vagueness itself is suspicious. I see it as a learning experience.

It's a solid five letter domain that could be branded, but not much traffic to speak of. I had an idea for it when I bought it and haven't had time to do it yet.
