Seems to be a new scam going around.
Got this email this morning, did a web search and found a person posted on DP the other day with the exact same email.

Hello,

We are interested in xxxxxxx.com

Your Internet name was for sale. Could you let me know your price for this domain. Our company is working on global network intrusin detection systems.

So Internet names is just a part of our investment strategy.

He told me he was from Berne, Switzerland. What did he tell you? Things seemed a little phishy with his email address...but I wasn't sure.

I was extremely skeptical at first, but he has been responding to all my emails. I also thought he was just someone trying promote the domainsecondhand.com (make me pay for there services). But he told me he also accepted moniker domain appraisals.

If this guy is for real I would like to do business with him. What do you suggest would be the best way to avoid being ripped off? Should I use escrow.com?

I havent replied to the emails and dont plan to.
Avoid being ripped off by not responding to the emails.
