The appraisal scam....again. -Name Investment Boutique LLC-Brand Domain Name Services

[maxeaus]

My suggestion is that Namepros file a UDRP dispute as hes using your name in bad faith, amongst other illegal things.

From: "George Petersen" [email protected]

I'm thinking about 60,000 - 80,000 USD for your domain. What do you think
about this price range?

Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain
appraisals. Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It's very
important for me in terms of reselling too. But we must engage a valuation
company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from
independent sources I and my partners trust.

To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal
companies. Please check this blog with suggestions from other sellers and
buyers:
thenamepros.com/Archive/62931485.htm

Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name?

Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary.
If, for example, the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price
accordingly. It will be fair. I also hope you can give me 12% - 15%
discount.

After you send me the valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to
obtain it) we'll continue our negotiations.

What is your preferred payment method: Escrow.com, International wire
transfer, PayPal.com or something else?

Hope we can come to an agreement fast.

I just got that one too. I let him know we know about his scam and he should stop now.

 

[nielsencl]

Please don't ignore these emails or tell them to stop. Report the emails as SPAM and include a link to this thread. If you have not been scammed then you can't report them for that. You CAN report them for being a spammer.

Interestingly, name-boutique.com forwards you to nameboutique.com...

Same here (exact names and words).. thank you for reporting the scam and saving my time

Third......


I see, but it's a standard practice to show independent valuation to
buyers/resellers. Nobody will do business without it. I'm a businessman and
have no intention of changing rules which help both parties to avoid
additional risks.

Of course, investors never take into account auto-generated valuations. So
manual valuation is a "must" too.

I read the following information about appraisals at
thenamepros.com/Archive/964725093.htm

Without the independent valuation from a trusted source we don't spend a
penny. This is our financial policy. So our offer is just a rought estimate.
If the appraisal comes higher we are ready to offer a bit more. If it comes
lower we will discuss the price with you again.

Thank you for understanding. I'm looking forward to doing business with you.

I suggest letting them know there is a thread about them here at namepros, of which they probably already know that but it's always a good reminder

 

[Archangel]

It wouldn't help. The scammers would simply use a new name etc. It's been done a billion times before.

Each time though their world gets a little smaller, in australia there is a government run scam site, anything similar in the u.s ?

want it--is on ebay for $79--why pay more---and i still received a followup
the next day.

you can tell by what is written in the signature line down the bottom, they actually try to prevent you from sharing their scam with others

[biggie]

got one yesterday from same clown

only used diff name Aaron Zuckerberg or something like that

 

[el_uruguayo]

Same here,

Got my hopes up. Figured he didn't want it to go to auction on SEDO. We'll see what reply I get, maybe toy with him or something.

 

[el_uruguayo]

my reply:

Yes I've had it appraised by people in the business, from 300-800 based on keywords, and their experience. If you don't like the price, send me a counter offer - I will not be paying for any appraisals.

Thanks
