This probably happens a lot but it's a first for me so I'm interested in your opinions. Is this a common scam or just someone deperately trying to sell a domain ?
A while ago I got an email from someone offering me a domain. It'd make a nice addition to the domains I use for my business (thats probably where they got my info) so I decided to check it out. Whois showed it was expiring. Obviously I decided not to reply to the email as it was already close to pending delete so I decided to wait it out and didnt think much of it.
I basically forgot about it but a few days ago I got a followup on the sales email, again offering the domain. I checked whois and it showed it dropped 2 days before. Needless to say I picked it up at reg fee but I'm wondering if this is a scam.
Yesterday I replied to them saying I might be interested if I can get the domain for somewhere under 2K (real value is about $300-$500) so I'm curious if they will contact me through my website and try to buy it back.
