Hi,
I received this email today:
Hello!
I'm interested in purchasing XXXXX.com.
I've found it at Sedo. Please email me your price.
I'm in hosting business and invest in domains and web projects.
If you have a portfolio of names for sale feel free to email me.
Best Regards,

Dear Michael
Thank you for your email and interest.
The reserve price at Sedo is $XXX. I do have a portfolio of domains that you might be interested in. A good chance for a bundle offer I guess!
I appreciate, and I thank you for your understanding, to send a link of your company URL as a confirmation of identity.

XXX. Ok. I hope you know the procedure. In order to process with the deal I need two things:
1. I need a valuation certificate.
It should be from a reliable site I trust. It will minimize our risks.
2. It's important for us to know that you domain has no problems with trademarks. Some evaluators include this option in the appraisalsal service. I need the evaluation service with the TM verification.
It's not a problem to obtain a valuation. It's a problem to find a valuation service with the trademark verification. I've found only one such service with the TM verification via web forum. Please read suggestion of other domain buyers and sellers to find out the right valuation company:

If the valuation comes higher you can change your asking price. After you send me the professional valuation with the trademark verification via email (usually it takes one day to obtain it) we'll continue.
How do you want to be paid: PayPal, wire or CC?
.........................................
So i get to the fake threat, and after reading the comments, I reach domain-cost and then to the appraisal thingy.
I do some research and find out that it is a total scam and a lot of people have actually paid money for nothing (google: domain-cost)! I have to ask:
HOW CAN THEY STILL BE SCAMMING PEOPLE AND NO ONE HAS STOPPED THEM YET? This has been happening for years and the sites are out there!
Thank you for your input!
