Hi domainers-risk sale?

[gioserge]

Hi there domainers,

i'm the owner of youbotox(.)com and I've listed it in some auctions.
I have just received an e-mail from a consulting company offering to buy my domain. As I have never sold a domain before, is there the possibility of it being a fraud? Is e-mails a common way to contact byers-sellers or should I be careful? Thank you and if you think you have spare time take a look here http://www.namepros.com/domain-appr...rst-domain.html
and give my domain an appraisal giving me an idea of what the sell price should be about!

I appreciate your help

If they ask you to provide a valuation (down the road) from a company they suggest to you. It's a scam.

thats exactly the same mail i also received for my domain ishk.in .
The mail came from a phreaker.net id, some free mail service i think. Now they'll send you a link to a forum that discusses about some appraisal company. and the only name they discuss is domainsecondhand.com.

Yup, unfortunately its a fake one. Could thing you were Leary of a sale, these guys are pretty rotten.

frankly, an interested domainer wanting to purchase your name will either make the offer email more personal, or he'll simply simply drop a single line like: "Is this name available for sale? I can offer xxxx for it."

my post is similar to the one I just posted in another thread , but you might want to check domainappraisalscam.com , where someone explains the whole procedure of the scam ...
