[mycamerashots]

Got this mail today. For a start I noticed a spelling mistake in the mail.. Definitely not professional Lawyers from Switzerland.

Hello!

I represent an investor who wants to buy *****.com for a new online startup.

He is a professional investor with 19 years of experience.

I located your contact information in a domain name whois lookup and understand that you own the domain name.

Are you still interested in selling?

I work for hosting companies based in Europe and Asia.

I help my clients to buy and sell intellectual properties.

If you are not an experienced seller I can help you to finish the sale.

Do you have more names? Can you send a list?

Best Regards,

Victoria Boschetti

It looks like the typical appraisal scam letter. They represent someone and don't buy until a trusted appraisal is taking place etc.

Correct me if things get a different direction

I got one of those too.
As soon as I understood it is a scam I sent them a PayPal payment request for $xx,xxx.
Needless to say the domain wasn't worth even a fraction.
Never heard from them again.
