Scam?

[deflee79]

Hello!

I represent an investor from Europe who would like to buy fiylist.com for a new project.

My client is a co-owner of several Internet companies including Alibaba Group.

The new project is going to be started in 3 months but he would like to secure the domain right now.

Are you still interested in selling this domain?

If so, please reply back and we will negotiate the price and discuss the sale process.

I have regular meetings with many major domain investors and I'm using my experience and relations to help companies and individuals to buy and sell domains.

If you have other names for sale, please email me the list.

Best Regards,

What do yall think ? Smells fishy to me.

Hello,

It could be the guys who will require you to have a special "domain certificate" that has to be bought. If it's them, they will no longer be interested in the domain after you have purchased the "certificate".

I'm not 100% (but almost).

just ask him to submit a offer and see what happens

I also had a warning saying that it may had not come from this email address.I'm afraid by emailing them this might compromise my security?The domain also expires today as i was going to drop it out of my portfolio.

I've decided to delete it and move on. Looks like a duck ..quacks like a duck..well you get the rest. Hope this helps someone else that may recieve an email like this.

Sounds like the paid appraisal scam...after you get a 10K offer.

It's the appraisal scam.

Play along if you want. You'll get a second email asking you to buy an appraisal first. Don't fall it.

I just got this kind of email today. I replied and yes, the 2nd emails is requesting me to send them the appraisal certification using this website : http://www.cert-tools.org/appraisal.htm

I did not pay. I might try to play a bit with them asking them to send me the money to pay for the appraisal and suggest I will subtract that amount from the domain price.

Don't give him any personal details other than just deleting the email and report as phishing attempt.

Today I have received the same email from [email protected].
As always, If a deal sounds too good, it is just a very one-sided business.
