Warning from scams to buy your domains and their new style

[saadq]

Hello everyone

few days ago i have received an E.mail from someone and the e.mail was as follow

Hello!

I represent an investor from Canada who needs sonycyberia.com for his project.

The buyer is a professional investor.

I located your contact information in a domain name whois lookup and understand that you own the domain name.

Are you still interested in selling?

If you have more names I can help you to sell them.

Best Regards,

It is not worth your time to reply, this is just an appraisal scam. The best thing to do is just delete the e-mail and not think twice about it.

oh..i just got excited as my selling domain is Top in google search.

1. Once I saw this message: "If you have more names I can help you to sell them." I know he is just fattening you up for the kill.
2. And never pay for an appraisal. It makes no sense in the first place. If a name is worth alot to an investor or business man or woman, then why would they again need an appraisal to know if its worth anything?
3. And I doubt any sensible investor would want to invest in a trademark like: "SONY". Maybe you should delete that name yourself. Sony, microsoft, apple etc... stay away...

Thank you for your insight to this vile and unscrupulous person.

Not more than a few days ago I had encountered the very same thing. Emails from him, "Frank", from 123 . com.

I simply told him if my domain name was worth, in his opinion, $15,000 - $20,000, you buy at £100 from me, then sell it to him. "you almost caught me, but not quite!". Never heard a word since!

Take heed people, always check first. If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

I got same emails for a couple of times..mine used 123registry instead of hostgator

A word of advice (sure everyone knows that but some people may forget to do it rushing to delete the email). Don't just delete the email. First mark it as spam/phishing and then delete it. That way very soon the scammer must change his address .

Seems to be a spike in this - I got one today as well (Canadian investor) ... report as spam (especially if using a SaaS email service like gmail, Office365, yahoo etc.. ) and delete.

Old scam.

I got one last week. So just out of curiosity I replied asking him "how much is your investor looking to buy it for"

He suggested the same thing what the OP has posted. And the link goes to DomainsWanted (.) net.. Where they buyers looking for domains and looking to pay upto 6 figures for domains. So when you try to register they ask for $159 for 3 months membership which will allow you to send unlimited emails to buyers for 3 months.

Btw he said " he thought my domain was worth $15,000-$20,000"

He is actually wrong. My domain is a ONE word .com in a lucrative niche and I wouldn't sell it for less than $50,000.

What a scam artist. He is using the email with a .info domain. The domain he copied was 123 reg.co.uk and that .info re directs to the real registrar's website. What a loser. He thinks domainers are stupid. My domain already has a inquiry landing page which he never used to inquire.
