Email from Lynvingen Web Software

[w1ww]

I've got this email and I would like to know if they are a scam or anything like that, since I've read that sometimes they try to steal domains by email!

Thanks!

Hello,

Please let me know the lowest price you can accept for the name mentioned in the subject of this email.

If you have other domain names for sale please send us the complete list with prices for consideration.

I'm a very busy person so it may take several hours before I respond

Our company develops custom software (mainly databases and client-server systems). By the way, investing in domain names is not the main direction of our investing strategy but a good way to generate additional income.

Looking forward to do business with you.

Regards,
Michael Lynvingen
President

"By the way, investing in domain names is not the main direction of our investing strategy but a good way to generate additional income"

Sounds familiar, very likely leading up to an appraisal Scam - NEVER EVER pay for an appraisal if you are asked to.

"Please let me know the lowest price you can accept for the name mentioned in the subject of this email."

Automatic giveaway for me, every person who has contacted me in the past who was actually interested in my domain name has specifically mentioned the domain in the message. You can tell that is simply a mass email sent out.

Spam & scam, name changes, job title changes, text stays much the same.

Scam / Spam / Waste of Time.

I feel like I get a couple of those same letters a week, and I always try to waste just a little bit of their time somehow by feigning interest and at least making them do a little more work.

I know, messing with sasquatch (sp?)
