Appraisal Scammer - theonlinebrokerage.com

Hello,

My name is Marc Shavell and I'm very interested in your domain.

Investing in domains is a profitable business. Of course, this is not our
main business.

Please let me know your price for the domain in the subject line. If you
have other good names just send me the list with prices.

Looking forward to do business with you.

Marc Shavell

I responded with a price and this is the response I got.

Thank you for the fast response.

1500. Ok.

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

Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary.

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:
http://nameblog.007sites.com/582619.htm

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.

Looking forward to your reply.

if you read the "forum post" it always directs you to http://www.domainexplorer.org which the scammer says is the real appraisal service. That has to be his real site.

Wow. This is the same appraisal scam "template" that's been circulating for years. I'm amazed they haven't even changed a single word. Laaame.

Thank Adam.

Can you check the IP record GoDaddy has for the scammers account and see if you find that IP in dnforum membership list.

This may be our only way to link this scumbag to an account on dnf. If he or she has one!

**Adam Dicker** · 02-02-2009, 02:05 PM
