This part makes pretty clear its a spam email

 

[Acroplex]

Here's how I responded to this idiot:

Hello to you too,

1. Who are you and who is your client?

2. Did you check the domain's landing page before sending an email?

3. Do you always number your questions?

4. Do you use a spell-checker?

5. Why do spammers prefer Gmail?

LOL

I received the same e-mail on Tuesday.
Unsolicited mass mailing aka spam ?

[MaxMcool]

A Scam that comes with Spam thinly disguised as an offer on a domain name! more junk mail we can all do without.

Non Exclusive Spam E-mail

Just got the same one as well today

Googled Exclusive Domain Investments and found this thread

Glad to have spent my time registering here instead of wasting my time replying

Thanks Guys!

 

[shaper]

Got this one as well. Exact same copy. If anyone knows how to read a header this is what it looks like with the exception of the domain name and my email address which I changed...

I felt stupid. I actually replied back to him.

But as soon as I replied, I realized something was not right. I searched for the email/sender and came to here thread.

 

[Premiere]

Yes same name and same title. Exclusive Domain Investments and [email protected] was the sender. Found it in the junk email folder - which is where it obviously belonged.

 

[luffo]

I also received this mail

Funny Stuff Acroplex!

Good to see you giving it to the Spamming Wanker!

We got the same dodgy email.

You encouraged me to do the same. check it out

Hello Fool,

If you genuinely have a client that is interested in buying our domain, Feel Free To Make An Offer!

However, judging by your very SPAM like,Note to all existing clients: you left on the bottom of your email, I doubt you have ever actually had any clients!

Also to help with your future spamming campaigns, If you pretend to be a company called, lets say, "Exclusive Domain Investments" it could be a good idea to at least set up a working domain to represent it.

Having a gmail email account is pretty lame as well dude.

There's no charge for the marketing advice, however we suggest you get mummy to tuck you into bed tonight.

Sweet Dreams :p

Its gotta be good for a laugh guys! Please show me your insulting reply that you sent to this FOOL

 

[Krossat]

Got the same mail but for a domain i sold almost 10 months ago.
I wonder where do they get the data from? Cant be current whois coz that way I wouldn't have received the mail for the domain.

Hi,

I received it too.

Their domain -save-money-car-insurance.info- was regged in June 2008 and
is using Privacy Protection at 1and1.com.

Only the .info domain is regged for the save-money-car-insurance domain.

They obviously went the cheapo route for their spam scam.

total scam

This is a total scam. I got the same message about two of my domains today.

Note how the origination headers point back to a mail server at keepclicking.com, a pay-per-click lead generation site.

Also, who includes information designed for a broad audience ("all existing clients") in a note requesting information on a specific domain name?

Spammers, and... um... uh... well that's about it.

I suggest everyone forward the offending email to [email protected] so the associated spammer's accounts are immediately suspended (per their TOS).

[E-Thunder]

Got this today too.

 

[weblord]

they will reply to you and tell you about their appraisal scam services.

I got the same email:

Exclusive Domain Investments

I didn't reply. I think it is a waste of time to encourage these emails by replying. I just added the phrase, "Exclusive Domain Investments" to my banned words list.

 

[shaper]

Probably a bad idea to reply. That will get you on their spammer confirmed address list for sure.

Not sure about giving them good advice either, then again maybe there is a market for spam consultants.
