Why so many SCAMS abou Trafficz?

[frank_view2008]

First email,

Hello,
I am looking to purchase an entire domain portfolio and I saw your domains listed for sale!
I am interested in buying your domain portfolio!
Please let me know the total price for all the domains listed in the portfolio you are selling but please be reasonable!
I am not quite sure which offer to make so please name the price you are satisfied with and then we will discuss further details! Thank you, Waiting reply, Kind Regards

Second email,

Hello,
Nice to hear from you! The price for the entire portfolio is more than OK and I agree with the mentioned price! The names you already sold are not a problem! Let me know how would you like to handle payment (I hope escrow.com is fine) but if you prefer any other payment method please tell me! Also I have one condition before we can proceed with our transaction! This purchase for me is an investment and I want to make sure that I will have the chance to get my money back so please apply with the domains in your portfolio for an account at Trafficz.com (it is a parking company) and once your domains are accepted I will proceed with payment, you will transfer the domains to me and our transaction will be completed! Waiting reply, Thank you, Kind Regards

This is the third time I received these emails...

Isn't the founder/owner of trafficz.com a respective domainer?

Why they promote business like this?

Actually, what they're after is a TrafficZ account. The scam will come when they ask you to turn over your account at TrafficZ along with the domains.

Yeah I got one these too. And he upped his price significantly - but same text word for word.

Was it from a guy named Adam Felds?

No doubt a scammer - and one of the scamees set up a 'special site' for the scammer.

rofl, that is classic....

I hate lowlifes who try to buck the system. Where are people's morals?

 

[Mark]

That's too much .........

 

[Dadster]

Just keep emailing him a domain name or two and tell him you would be willing to sell for 90k

 

[sashas]

man...domaining is still full of sleazy nerds who haven't been out in the past 10 years.

Somebody please email that Adam guy and tell him to get a haircut, change his glasses, and if he has the money, go to a dentist. Sheesh..

 

[Dadster]

tomorrow his site will be much better - someone told me to tell owner of site to add midi of 'I'm Too Sexy'!

LOL

 

[weblord]

scammers are getting craftier and wittier every day, and they're creative, the email you posted can also be used as a template for domain appraisal fraud

Sashas, you crack me up!

From the scammers website:

"I'm also looking for my soul mate. Please send me pictures and photos to the email above."

what a catch.

I think this might be Adam Felds lucky day. He's about to receive an email from his soulmate (Pic).

I call this, 'Spam The Scammer'.

Wow, that picture looks *exactly* like the base player in my old band from 37 years ago! I don't mean similar, but a clone. scary. We called him "bumper". After the band days I went into science and he stayed in music and passed away about two years ago. Band life is hard on people. Glad I went into science to make the really big bucks ;o)

I actually emailed him. Told him that I'm looking for a soulmate too, and am interested in domains too, and that I own 20 LLL.coms, 3 LL.coms, 21 LL.org, etc. etc. Also attached the picture...
It would be interesting to see what kinda response I get.

And no, I have no bad feelings about a spam email like that. Such folks deserve to be bugged.

Btw Marc, I thought you were a mathematician, not a Physicist...

Both, although for the last few decades I have specialized in math. After grad school I ran away to Antarctica for a year to figure out what I wanted to do when I grew up... still growing up. I knew being in a rock band was not it. After a year at Siple station Antarctica (brrrr....), I decided that being an Antarctic explorer was not my cup of tea either. I considered being a tennis bum, and used to play several hours a day, but decided that wasn't it... so went into the oil industry, and got bored there... I then wrote the main solver for the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve which required a lot of math and physics and managed a 55 person team to upgrade the SPR software. During that time I really fell in love with complexity theory and np-completeness, and been doing that ever since.

There are a lot of things in theoretical physics that have direct bearing on both the theory and application of computational complexity. So basically, I use techniques in mathematical physics to address the world's hardest problems in mathematics.

ok... now that I have totally bored the people reading this post...

Do you remember that lady Dianne from the TV show Cheers? Always looking for her place to land? That is the story of my life, constantly moving from one hobby/obsession to the next...
