Earlier it is was a rich client from Japan as far as I remember. Scam. I think they will ask you to provide (to purchase) domain appraisal certificate, from a "service" owned by then scammers, and will disappear after you spend $$$.

I received mail from domain broker and saying that before selling the buyer needs to verify compliance which you order online compliance certification for saudi Arabia law. Is there exist these things
Anyone who can help

It appears that, unfortunately, you will not sell this domain name to this person (or company, or broker). Because they are not real buyers. You should not order anything to sell a domain, such requests are scam.

I am wondering then how can we protect our data from these scammers. They can easily find our contact information from whois .I am not using whois privacy protection just because I put it on sale.The broker is also having telegram group which they mentioned on mail id so that they can fool people easily by showing fake messages there and the broker also having their profile photo which may also be fake.I just reported spam in my gmail inbox.I have a domain on godaddy, can godaddy track them ?

These scam clowns have been around for a long time. Just send them an email telling them you know what they are about and that you are sharing all their info on domainer blogs unless they stop contacting you.

Possibly, but they wouldn't/don't care about these bottom feeders...if you continue domaining this will more than likely happen to you again. Just learn form it and move on...btw. all my names are on privacy to reduce spammers. Just find a marketplace you like (epik, afternic) and use one of their landers with a make offer link...best of luck to you!

In my case can godaddy allow to use privacy protection if I want to sell my domain.
I have listed it on sedo
