Does this look legit

[Hurley4540]

Hello,

We've have visited several online auctions. We are very interested in your domain name igraphic.info.

Just email me your price and we will consider it.

Of course, domain reselling is not a main direction of our business (we develop software). But domain aftermarket is hot now, so we are always interested in domain names.

Looking forward to do business with you.

Regards,
Emmett Hodges

I now know its a scam after you quote a price, they will accept whatever, but how do they scam you AFTER you gave them a price?

No, not legit, 100% appraisal scam.

100% appraisal scam, how do I know?
these 2 gave them in:

if you reply to them, from hereon, they will say ok to whatever price you quote them and they will suggest with their appraisal services, in the long run, you'll be the scammed customer.

secondly their email, they'll use their own domain and not free but still this can be cheated.

Definitely a scam! There are several threads here dating back over 3 years at least.

Whenever they put a title like President in their signature and say domains isn't their main business you know it is the appraisal scam.

 

[bmugford]

Man, will this scam ever go away.

 

[Hurley4540]

Thank you guys, I could have lost my domain with this!

<3 NP members :D

But how exactly do they scam you after you quote a price?

 

[Traveler]

You would not have lost your domain name, they are not interested in it. They want you to pay from an appraisal from a service they actually own. It is just an appraisal scam, if you do a search on the forums you will find a ton of these.

They have you do an appraisal at some bullshit company which charges ridiculously for an appraisal and after paying for the appraisal, you won't be hearing from your so called buyer any more.

as long as u dun need to pay anything i guess it shud be ok but they pry on newbies hoping to earn some appraisal fee outof them..becareful

 

[htmlindex]

It looks exactly like your typical appraisal scammer.

 

[Hurley4540]

Kk thanks guys

I don't think this is legit.

TNG Techonology Consulting does exist. This company is in operation in Germany. Their managing directors are:
Henric Klagges
Gerhard Muller
Christoph Stock

This company uses their domain as an email addy such as <[email protected]> not <[email protected]>

 

[omnia]

The scam will die when people stop falling for it, obviously that day isnt here yet.....

 

[KryPro]

Seems to be a scam..
