Hmm Smells Like a Scam but I am not sure

[Iravan]

Do you have a valuation or appraisal? I need an appraisal certificate for your domain. I consider your name as an investment. In other words I'm going to sell your name later and make a profit. If I overpay I won't be able to make a profit in the future. It's very important for you and me to know the current market value of your domain.

Of course, we must be sure that you are engaging a reputable appraisal company. Please note that I don't trust free or cheap appraisals.

To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies in a forum

Juck check this posting.

After I verify an appraisal from you we'll continue our negotiations.

How do you prefer to get paid: www.PayPal.com, www.escrow.com, check or wire?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hmm Looks like it may be a scam

What do u think??

SCAM! Never, never, NEVER buy an appraisal based on an email like this. If he was a legitimate buyer, he would negotiate with or without an appraisal.

That's a phony forum by the way, designed by the scammers to try to get you to buy an appraisal from a site that they own.

Yes, the 'toughguy.net' domain is a well known scammer.

I received the same set of emails from [email protected]. I did some research here and came across the numerous threads on Toughguy.net. It's a scam.

I don't understand why it is that the SELLER had to get an apprasial...it seems like the BUYER needs to make the investment and get the domain they want appraised. Furthure more, i don't understand why the SELLER has to use the BUYER'S favorite apprasier service?

Thanks for the heads up!
