Hi All
I was wondering if I could get some advice regarding a possible scam.
So basically I registered a domain hack in 2016 and I thought it was supposed to be on auto-renew but due to the registrar it did not auto-renew and I lost it. Yesterday I got an offer on DAN.com for the domain which was a ridiculously high amount compared to what it is worth (also I do not remember ever putting the domain on sale at DAN.com). Anyway when I got the offer I obviously when to look for the domain on my registrar and then found out it had not renewed. I checked the WhoIs for the domain and found out it was registered to someone else on the 19th of February 2020. I find it a bit suspicious that it was registered on the 19th and then 6 days later this crazy offer comes in. Could this be someone trying to entice me into buying the domain back from them thinking that if I do I would surely sell it on DAN.com for such a high amount and they possibly put that high offer on DAN.com themselves?
I would appreciate any advice
Thank you
