Ill have you know there are SEVERAL huge domainers who use gmail as their personal and business email. A gmail account does not equate to a scammer. Not saying I agree with it or trust free mail but what happened to you is not a scam, rather a waste of your typing after the initial report of a couple emails known to charge back. |
Read into this a little or as much as you want.
Better yet, read the whole thread.
Beginning with the scam that
was perpetrated on domainsite (dot) com.
And that
scammer being
exposed and
identified on domainsite.
And that
scammer going onto
another forum and offering to buy domains with at $1000 a pop.
And that
scammer was
exposed on that forum before he/she could perpetrate the scam there.
And I came on here to alert those that may not be aware of what is going on and to inform members someone who happens to coincidently uses gmail (and changes gmail email addresses).
Wasn't that swell?
So me coming on here to relay that there are some new scams in town is like, well...like you coming on here and saying you think another domain is stolen.
Its kind of like, you know...not all domains that change hands are stolen?
And not all domains that you report as stolen were your domains stolen...so why report them as stolen if they were not yours?
So by your definition a scam is not a scam worth reporting until the scam happens to me?
And I'm glad you'll have me
know there are SEVERAL huge domainers who use gmail as their personal and business email.
It more or less me alerting other members to exercising caution when dealing with unknown domainers who use a gmail or a hotmail.
Please, save your pseudo detective work for another case, Sherlock.

Genisa idem.
So this scammer don't know the language. 
Said so, I've see many strange coincidences on DNF in the last few months...the last is that thread where a guy said scammers trying to send transfer emails don't request so scammers reading us.
Agree never deal with ppl use gmail or hotmail accounts...but I also say is better to keep deals more privately is possible to raise our security.
With this economic crisis many people are broke and they trying to rise some cash scam us.
I don't know If I'm the only to received this, but I found every day in my mail 5/6 phishing attempts.
Never happened to me before. |
I actually get very good traffic on Genisa (and $$$), as a typo for Genesis and Genius according to stats.
How they arrive at those typos and beyond me.
And Achille - the same thing...a typo for Achilles?

The changing of gmail accounts would have to be intentional and by a person to register them. So doubtful they are by a bot.
Whether it is one person or not involved is hard to know.
I actually responded to the first one (Genisa inquiry) that it was for sale and I would be interested in their offer (seeing that they said they would make an offer.
I never heard back from them however I did get the same email the next day on a different name using the same text.
With the recent news of domains purchased and then charged back and the other episodes I mentioned, we may be talking about the same (or not) individual or group (or not) that are all attempting to buy domains and charge back the payment or even using stolen cards or hacked PayPal accounts.
