Domain appraisal scam; Fleos.com Pozde.com Pedma.com

[Anthony Sun]

I just got this email today and am wondering if it is a scam that trying to trick people using their paid appraisal service.

Here is the email:

Dear sir,

I also posted my reply here so that you know where I am coming from:

Hi John,

Why are you interested in this domain? Do you happen to own one or both of the sites?

pedma.com
accuratedomains.com

No need for the appraisal, I will accept any reasonable offer you have.

Anthony


What do you think? Any sincere feedback will be appreciated.

Anthony

They're up to the C's

Interesting -- they're offering 70% of the value for one and 80% for the other.
I don't see the value in this -- unless it sedo.com promoting themselves -- they seem to be the only one in all the emails. I did go there and sign up - actually paid $29 for a doman eval (before I got the second email) -- but a certificate problem on their end stopped the transaction.

Lol! Flyrating.com and Fleos.com have the same design. I think whoever behind this is one lazy scammer.

My appreciation to this group. Apparently this does work for them, as they haven't changed the text.
