Weird - AppleBitcoin.com - Got 4 Inquiries in 2 Hours & than 2 Emails to Transfer to Godaddy ️

any Ideas ?? any thoughts ??

The 4 Inquiries came from 4 different emails ( all US )

 

[deez007]

Hmmm interesting... I like the play on the Logo there...

Did you reply to any of the enquiries yet? - are they emails from actual business domains or from gmail/hotmail/etc... ?

 

[Michael Ehrhardt]

gmail and edu

but what makes me worry is the email from Godaddy !!

@Michael Ehrhardt - You should still have time to edit - I would remove the transaction and security code from post of that email to be on the safe side. (yes lock/lack of auth code will prevent transfer - but still seems like I wouldn't want to publish those godaddy transfer codes when it seems someone is trying to initiate a transfer.)

Not sure if this is related to Amazon buying Crypto Currency domain names (another post in NP), and someone might think Apple going same direction.

I was going to say the same thing. You should remove those codes

Do you have the domain listed with Afternic? As I learned earlier this year, when someone hits the Buy Now button for your domain at one of Afternic's affiliates (as opposed to buying it directly at Afternic), you get this initial transfer request email, even though you won't see the transaction started yet in your Afternic account; at this stage, you don't do anything, don't respond to the transfer request.

Then when the buyer pays them, you get the Afternic email telling you the domain is sold, and the pending transaction shows up in your account. Might take a few days for that second email to arrive. Once the transaction is showing up in your Afternic account, then you can take the next steps with transfer etc.

Maybe a slightly screwy way to do things, but it seems legit because my domain sale went through smoothly like that. In that case, it was a buyer who bought my domain through an Afternic affiliate, I think it was Register.com. In fact I just received another transfer request for another of my domains a few days ago, this time from 123-reg.co.uk, another Afternic affiliate; waiting to see if the buyer pays and I get the transaction email from Afternic within the next couple days...

The domain name got sold via Godaddy or afternic, he will get message after 2 days when the buyer add fund.

Your domain is listed for sale and it must have sold at your BIN. I checked that's how I know - and congrats on the sale.

You can always call GoDaddy/ Afternic to confirm the transaction just for your own peace of mind.

Deff not a good idea to post the codes in a public forum though... If it is legit, congrats on the sale!
