Email scam from [email protected]

[RobinB123]

Another scam - ask you for a price, then want you to value it at a website:


Hello,

After checking domains for sale sites I've found your domain for sale. So what is your price?

Buying and selling domains is not our only business. But domain aftermarket is hot now, so we are always interested in domain names.

Looking forward to do business with you.

It's actually a double scam. If you reply they will point you to some fake forum where fake people talk about the worth of a domain name. This forum will then recommend a service to find out the real value of your domain but the funny part is: The reason they send such emails is they want to make money off you doing the appraisal while the "deal" never takes place cause the possible buyer is actually someone from the appraisal service and just wants to make a few bucks.

It's funny they used such an email address tho cause it just tells you enough without even looking at the email.

I had a similar scam email from phreaker.net aka 'Harold Peterson' asking me price of a domain. :hehe: Thank goodness I was directed to this forum else I may given into...I think SEDO or similar is the best way to buy/sell domains, don't you?

I just got one too, a few minutes ago from [email protected]. I think all of these emails were coming from one boring teenager. And I strongly believe that he can make more money if he used gmail account. LOL!

I got a similar email for zzc.in from

Sebastian Sterling

I replied them saying since you are already well aware of the potential of the market, you may offer a fair price.

No reply.

I received the exact same e-mail few days ago. I think idea is for you to spend money on domain appraisal site that person, in this case Tom, wants you to use before concluding business.

I was just lying down and I thought about something. How did this person get my e-mail address?
NamePros has blocked my e-mail; so, there is no way that anyone could get my e-mail from here. I have the domain parked at NameDrive.com, but I doubt that they would share my e-mail with 3rd party.
