[NameOmnia]

I have just received an email in my inbox talking about this new ( or old? ) trick which is happening lately on Sedo marketplace.

Be careful pros!

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

For every scammer, there is a sucker. For this particular scam, it requires also stupidity and greed.

I don't think it's about stupidity Forge. Everyone has accepted offers lower than the price we had in our mind and this is the reason why this scam has worked.

Judging is easy but not helpful.
I think it has happened to all of us to sell a name and to receive a higher offer for it and we all though " If only.. "
Whoever thought about this scam knows perfectly how to use emotions and needs as a leverage

I'm amazed lemmings continue to enrich Sedo. Sedo makes money even when the Seller is the victim of a scam.

Domainers seem silly not to have learned all this by now.

Seems Sedo has been down a few times tonight.

Anyone else get the same?

I don't think this method has worked for a while now, anyway after it's been exposed, there will be no more of this nonsense... Pity, I'm not greedy at all

Be fair to other people. And know your risks. Then this scam won't even tempt you.

This has been happening for ages

The people that are being greedy and aren't following basic business ethics are the ones being caught out

Nice share photon! I agree, this kind of scam really comes down to greed and would also really depend on the domain. Obviously, the better the name is the more likely you will be to try and buy it back quickly. Those with really good portfolios, probably like the guy you mention in your article, are at a much higher risk than others.
