domain Just received offer on typo domain - appraisal please?

[Junanagoh]

What should I ask for golfcuorse.com.

I just got an inquiry on what I will charge for this domain and have only had it for a few days.

Sedo only shows a few unique views for the last few days.

Any appraisals welcome. Thanks.

It's weird that someone is willing to buy without asking you about revenue. since typos are typically valued on revenue. You didn't get an email asking about it by a "PhD" did you?

 

[Junanagoh]

Lol yes I did. Scammer?

 

[Epic]

Yeah, typical appraisal scammer. He offers to buy your domain, then asks you to get an appraisal at his site (to make him cash) and doesn't actually buy the domain.

If I'm thinking of the right one.

 

[Junanagoh]

Thanks for the warning guys. Is this a fairly common occurrence?

 

[Epic]

Yeah its a widespread scam.

I tell you what, I have a feeling the phd guy is using drt's freshly registered list to mass email all new domain registered owners. I registered some new domains, and all of them were served by the phd guy.

I too have recieved this. Someone needs to hunt them down so we can all spamm the hell out of there inboxes and such.

This might sound like a stupid question but is there anyway that you can identify a scam before you get pulled into it?

It's allfordomains.com who runs the scam.

Agreed. I am totally in

These guys have been running them scams for ages and make a killing out of it, wouldnt expect theres any way to stop them.

 

[Phronesis]

The most pathetic part is they have a "scams" section right on their website, listing every domain scam imaginable except the most prevalent - their own.

 

[Junanagoh]

Thanks for warning me guys. I am such a domain newbie that I might have fallen for the scam.

 

[DomainNirvana]

Agreed. I am totally in

I wonder if there's any way WE can scam them good... that would be awesome!

Man, sorry to hear that. I have a warning on my website in the hopes that people will find out via Google before they pay.
