I just received an offer at Undeveloped of $34,704,343 for my domain inc(.)tax

It is obvious that this is someone trolling, so what is the best way to respond?
1- Reject the offer
2- Counter the offer to be able to send a message through Undeveloped interface.

I don't want to accept the offer because the domain will stay pending "finalizing sale" for 3-4 weeks, that happened with me last month on same domain when I accepted low xxxx offer and it turned out to be a fake offer.

Interestingly both offers came from Pakistan, I am not sure if this is just pure chance, or it is the same person that came back in a new account.

I get the same kind of offers from India. I just ignore and block.

Is it possible that it was a genuine error, and thought was giving a contact since he just wanted to get more information, and really did not realize he was placing it in an offer price box? It seems a stretch, but with possible language barrier it is maybe possible? Why else give your real number as an offer? I mean the box is labelled "My offer for this domain is:" but maybe misunderstood.

yes that is plausible

We have all been through this. Just accept the offer and see what happens. I hope its a win for you ;)

If you reject he can make another offer. If you think those offers are spam, reject can't stop the spam.
However you should always reject. Maybe he will make a 10x offer if you reject. Because he may think it's worth more if you don't accept his or her offer.

Ask them for a certificate to make sure the money is worth as much as what your investor demands.

accept it if its undeveloped. Worst that could happen is they don't pay
