Got this email a few mins ago:
-----------------
Greetings,

I was the former owner of kerplop.com. It was a good domain name.
I hope you can put it to good use.

Say, I just had someone contact me about purchasing kerplop net,
but I thought I would offer it to you first. Please let me know
if you would like to acquire it too.

Regards,

****

But if you go to the .net, it's been expired since Mar 15th and is pending deletion, doh!

Where there is money to be made - you will always find creativity.

P.S. did they really ever own the .com? :hehe:

Is this the appraisal scams?

Is this the appraisal scams?

The sender is trying to sell not to buy.

But anyway, it is always good to be cautious before making purchase.

I thought that if the domain was in "pending delete" status, the owner could no longer re-reg it?

Don't have access to previous whois. Anyone have whois.sc membership to look it up?

Tell them you had a $xxxx offer, then they may waste their time and money renewing their .net. :hehe:

Looks like an inoffensive request.
If you are not interested I see no problem here.
