Dear Sir,
we are interested to buy your domain name XXXXXXX.XXX and offer 65% of the appraised market value.
As of now we accept appraisals from either one of the following leading appraisal companies:
sedo
pd domains
accurate domains
If you already have an appraisal please forward it to us.
As soon as we have received your appraisal we will send you our payment (we use Paypal for amounts less than $2,000 and escrow.com for amounts above $2,000) as well as further instructions on how to complete the transfer of the domain name.
We appreciate your business,
Yours truly,

Thanks Doc Com! I thought it might be, but was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I'm debating on whether or not to send a polite answer...

yep, apppraisal scam
had 2 emails already
he just got 3 words, starting with f o c
anyone running appraisal scams must know the business of sorts and my money is hes a member here or past member
lets out him
anyone want to go digging for this whore?
i always tell them
"if you want this domain appraised, then you will have to bear that burden.
that statement in no way implies that:
1. the domain is for sale
2. that we will sell the domain at that appraised price or any other price.
3. this reply constitutes any agreement between any party herein.
Thanks"
they don't come back after that

This is my first time hearing this kind of scam. Thanks for sharing it as I will beware next time.

These things spawn others to jump on the bandwagon.
I am now seeing
New Appraisal sites
New Emails
Lesser amounts paid out
Likely not from sedo
who are pddomains.com and accuratedomains.com ?
would be someone affiliated with one of those companies, wouldn't it?
