Hate to burst your bubble but this is likely a scam, anyone who is really interested in a domain does not care about an appraisal certificate...

Didn't he tell you the place he wanted you to get the cert from? If not tell him that he can pay for the appraisal himself...

I was just gonna say the same thing.. LOL

Hey i told him the same thing! To get the certificate himself!

Not exactly! But little simililar. But he gave me immediate replies and is a reputed business man. He is the president of BIT engineering.

K here is the mail:

Hello,

I think you have not sold your domain name yet. I'm very interested in it. Can you send your price for the domain?

Did you get offers from other people already?

I run a software company. We develop client-server systems and databases in MS SQL and Delphi. Buying and selling domain names is not my main business. Just another way to invest money and make additional income.

Looking forward to do business with you.

Best regards,

We had a healthy conversation. But he wants the certificate.

Any email whose signature line includes "Ph.D." is a scam these days.
Go ahead and tell him/her that they can send you the money via certified check via certified mail, you'll never see a dime, however.
-Allan :gl:

Just to be clear:

The above email is CERTAINLY a scam. Do NOT pay for any "appraisal certificate".

Hello,

Are you still interested in selling your domain name? I saw it listed
for sale.

Did you get offers from other people?

I need to know your desired price. Please don't ask to make an offer.
Just email the desired price.

I run a software company. We develop client-server systems and
databases in Oracle for a local company. Buying and selling domain names is
not my main business. Just another way to invest money and make

Good! I get it guys! thanx!

Here is another mail he sent me finalising the price:

**************************************

4,000 USD. Ok.

Do you offer a web site or domain name only? I'm mostly interested in names.

Do you have an appraisal certificate?

Domain name is an investment for me. In other words I'm going to sell your name later and make a profit. If I overpay I won't be able to make a profit in the future. It's very important for you and me to know the current market value of your domain.

Of course, we must be sure that you are engaging a reputable appraisal company. I heard many appraisal companies often made inaccurate appraisals. I will only accept appraisals from independent sources I trust.

To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies in a forum
http://domaintalk.ourplace.com/Archive/58046.htm

Juck check this posting.

If the appraisal comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly.

After I get an appraisal from you we'll continue our negotiations.

How do you prefer to get paid: www.PayPal.com, www.escrow.com, check or wire?

Hope we can come to an agreement fast.

Looking forward to your reply.

****************************

He said he can pay via check...............

But i dont get it ??? ........... What does this scam mean??? They are the ones who are paying right????? So how can they cheat others?

at least they are getting smarter cause they know don't direct you to a bogus forum thread claiming how great the experience in dealing with them was and where to get it appraised as opposed to "we only accept appraisals from XYC.COM bogus appraisals site) :hehe:

 

[JYM]

It seems that many other people got the same type of email from the same guy. It's also funny that he supposedly has multiple email accounts from the same email provider, bonbon.net. I bet scamming people is his day job, because there's no way I can see for him to contact all of you using a script, unless he hacked the whois database... and to just happen to be online and waiting to talk to you about getting an appraisal certificate...

I've been scammed once. It won't happen again.
