Official Response to Scam Warning

OFFICIAL RESPONSE FROM FASTDOMAINSALES

Several our visitors informed us about this scam.

First of all, we want to thank the Norwegian provider for closing his email accounts. Hope it will help to stop this guy.

We did not authorize this person (email address [email protected]) to use our company name in his promotional emails. I think other companies did not authorize him too. He is not our affiliate.

At this moment our security department and lawyers are trying to find his real address and start a lwasuit against this person sending fake emails that ruins our reputation.

Please read the following information. It will help you to avoid mistakes

Their motive... It's looking like they work for the competitor to ruin the reputation of FastDomainSales.com, HollywoodDomains and others sites mentioned in his letter. Perhaps he is hired by one of our competitors. Someone last year tried to get a forum thread started about this, at HollywoodDomains.com ,but it never took off , so apparently they are not involved ,but a victim as well .

How to avoid being a victim : If a potential buyer asks you to provide an independant appraisal especially one like the above..Suggest to them to purchase the appraisal themselves and if they buy ,you will deduct the cost
of the appraisal from the sale price .

It's very easy to stop this guy.

NEVER ORDER APPRAISALS AFTER RECEIVING SUCH REQUESTS. ASK YOUR BUYER TO ORDER THIS SERVICE HIMSELF/HERSELF.

Sincerely,

Andrew Gordon

FastDomainSales Team

He's still at it, huh? Unless s/he's arrested, I guess this scam won't die.

But on what grounds will he be arrested??. This f*c*er sends mail as if he is willing to buy the domain after an appraisal?.

Maybe he can be charged for spam

If he is in russia you can bet that nothing will be done about it anyway, has anyone else been tracking the allofmp3.com saga??

How about you reply to them saying that you know about the scam and would just like to transfer the money directly to his bank account instead of wasting time "laundering" the money. Then, when he sends the bank details, take all of his money. Easy as pie. It will teach him a lesson.

I do not actually condone stealing, but it would be funny.

hmmm..this is an old thread but it seems these guys are getting "smarter"

 

[LeeRyder]

Suthra...he can be arrested on fraud.

I think we should all pit together and track down on this guy hard - just like Napolean - Focus all your energy at once!
