Not a scam but scam fighting system.

I'm just playing with such suckers like AllDomains.com and Sedo.com. WHY?

In my opinion appraisal service on domain names is a scam. Appraisers like
AllDomains.com, Sedo.com and Aftrenic.com are showing bogus figures and
charge money for nothing. This is a big trap for all the domainers.

How can we stop them? There is only one way! When you order a service and
then make charge back the company will have to pay the charge back fee. If
they get too many charge backs they will have to close the business.

I've decided to stop the domain appraisal scam this way.

It works very simple. Earlier I made several charge backs but it was not
enough to stop them. Now I've contacted several domain sellers and asked
them to order appraisals at Sedo.com and AllDomains.com. Then I asked domain
sellers to cancel these orders because it was a joke.

As a result AllDomains.com and Sedo.com will lose big money on charge backs.
My goal is to destroy AllDomains and Sedo.

Thank you for helping me to crash these appraisers.

Now my traget is Afternic.com. I will ask people to order appraisals at
Aftrenic.com and then I will tell them about my jokes.

Afternic.com (like AllDomains.com) will have to stop their appraisal
business due to high amount of charge backs and charge back fees.

Yahooo!! We'll destroy them!!!

It's stupid to play games with criminals and try to get chargebacks. Really, all this is is a variation of the 419 Nigerian/advance fee scam.

What they do is GET YOU to pay some money up front and then THEY disappear. Whether it is a lottery you just won, or a vacation, or help to move millions out of the country, or domain appraisals, they all want the same thing - YOUR MONEY up front and FIRST, and then THEY DISAPPEAR.

The best thing you can do is make other people aware of it. It's totally assinine to try to combat this with chargebacks, because there are just too many (overseaes usually) crooks to catch. Leave it to the authorities or if you want to get them shut down call their ISP. But this too is worthless, because eventually they will just find/start another crook ISP.

This thread or topic needs to be a sticky.
