Dear Sir,
we are interested to buy your domain name ******** and offer 65% of the appraised market value.
As of now we accept appraisals from either one of the following leading appraisal companies:

*********
**********
**********

If you already have an appraisal please forward it to us.
As soon as we have received your appraisal we will send you our payment (we use Paypal for amounts less than $2,000 and escrow.com for amounts above $2,000) as well as further instructions on how to complete the transfer of the domain name.
We appreciate your business,

You would be very wrong.Not every domainer/part time domainer or entrepreneur uses forums like these.There will be a lot of people who do fall for these scams.

I received the same email, it is definitely a scam. If you care to read about my experience with this scam artist feel free: Domain Appraisal Scam Artist Poses As A Domain Buyer : DNPimping Domaining News, Tips, Tutorials, Videos

This person will eventually run into the wrong domainer and find himself paying a hefty penalty for this scam. Domain scams are now recognized by the authorities and can be convicted in the court of law. He'll eventually get busted.

It is a scam for sure and you got to be very careful and not to deal with such spam emails. Also mark such emails as Spam.
