I got the following email today:
The domain name that "Ance Methew" (doubtful that this is his real name) is brokering is my own domain name. I did not give him permission to broker my domain name.
The domain is currently listed on Namejet so he probably saw my domain there and tried to contact potential buyers, pretending to be brokering this domain, in order to sell this domain before he owns it and then use some of the profits of that sale to purchase the domain on NameJet afterwards and give it to his buyer. Funny thing is, his research obviously sucked because one of the "potential" buyers he contacted is me, the owner of the domain.
If he's a real broker and that's his real name (doubt it) then I advice you to never do business with him.
Edit: I also like how he puts "RE:" in that subject line as if there was an email prior to this one.
