My first scam

[Marc Riccio]

Got a private message from someone who states that he has montreal.net for sale and if I have a customer, he will split 50/50.
Then he signs it ....Cheers, Liviuu

Pink Dragon is his nom-de-plume

It looks like he has a IDN domain, not the real Montreal.net. Worthless, IMO...he's trying to scam any potential buyer.

Told him I would contact a few people..

I might offer my nyc.com in exchange...

@Marc Riccio - before you lose your edit window, I would consider removing your post. Posting PRIVATE messages is uncool

IMO . . .

 

[johname]

Not a proven scam as he shows the accent over the e é

Even from scammers? As a warning to others?

Even the official Ville de Montreal web address has no accent grave.

Well golly gee, he was polite and technically even if you don't care for IDN domains, it is the proper spelling, so there could be a buyer that would appreciate that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal
Montreal officially Montréal is the most populous municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec. Montreal is the second-largest primarily French-speaking city in the world after Paris.

Plus if I get unwanted PMs, I like to reply in PRIVATE first and ask that they not send me anything like that again, and if it does happen again I would use the "Report" button.

This doesn't really look like a scam, just enthusiasm for a potential partnership sale.

So it is not a grave mistake? ))

 

[mr-x]

Thanks, but the only people that would buy this is the tourist bureau, and it would have to be in French..

@biggie Apparently only French speaking people are allowed to visit Montreal.

oui oui ))

@Marc Riccio - can you please explain why do you think it is a scam?

Since you are from Montreal, I sent you a PM, asking you if you can sell the name. Yes, it is an IDN domain. But it is the correct French spelling. I don't try to sell the fake pay.com, like the one is on sale now at Sedo. I wrote in my message to you "if you can find a customer". I was not trying to sell this domain to you. I gave you the link, where you can clearly see the name.

@Marc Riccio: I am still expecting an answer from you. You open a thread, telling to the NP community I am a scammer. I might buy and sell names here, in the future. If anyone will search on this board "pinkdragon" or "scam", he or she may find your thread.

LE: @all, please find attached the PM I sent him.

 

[creataweb]

I don't see any scam here. Looks like PinkDragon showed the correct spelling and was not trying to deceive.

@Marc Riccio

What are you on about...what exactly has @pinkdragon done that you felt the need to publically accuse him of being a scammer?

 

[bobbarato]

Je suis desole that Jaccuse is taken in .com, .net and .org FWIW

 

[usernamex]

cute @bobbarato - I had to search to get the joke : sourire :

Who could think such an innocent wide-eyed dragon could be a scammer? And PINK the color of innocence and kindness to boot!

Sorry for this @pinkdragon - we will see if @Marc Riccio offers any response
What makes it stranger yet is that Marc replied positively to you in PM then started this thread : confused :
