Is this a Scam?

[uber]

Anyone heard of these guys before? Sounds pretty fishy... I guess the company name changes all the time... but I would bet the wording is always the same...

I got this message (below) and replied accordingly... :lol:

If I get a reply I will be surprised!

Hello,

I'm sending this e-mail on an issue related to the XXXX.com domain you own.
First of all I'm sorry that I'm taking your time. My company is willing to
buy few different domains to be applied to our projects on internet sector.
Your XXXX.com domain is within those few domains. The budget that my
company drew is $100,000 US in total. If you are willing to sell XXXX.com domain, please write the price you want.

In the case you don't want to sell it right now, but you decide to sell it
in future please let me know. I believe I can make a persuasive offer.

Best Regards,

Terson Interactive Inc

Interesting, so far this sounds like bait for an appraisal scam. But I will give you the benefit of the doubt if you can be persuasive and give me more assurance than a yahoo email address... a favor I return. Please provide provenance to support your offer. According to my searches Terson Interactive Inc is not an incorporated company.

Regards

XXXX.com management

i think it's a domain appraisal scam but different fake company :imho: yeah you're right if they're legitimate company you will be receiving email from their domain since they have budget like that for a single domain (but not always)

Hi,

It is scam and fake. It looks weird, strange and I including a lot of other people received similar (if not exact messages) ...

Don't trust!
