[QUOTE="draggar, post: 1727103, member: 97957"] I'd hate to say it but there isn't much the FBI could get against them - maybe a low end of fraud. The claim they are interested in purchasing your domain - nothing illegal about this. They want an appraisal and suggest one, or more, services. The "seller" voluntarily does one. They decide against it. The only way someone might be successful in fighting this is if they can prove that the "buyer" had no intention to purchase the domain, which is very hard to prove, or that they are affiliated with the appraisal company, which can also be hard to prove. The fact that most of these people are overseas makes it even harder to not only investigate but also to prosecute. The sad thing is that there is so much crap going on today on the internet and the people doing it are getting away with it. They get caught, their domain gets shut down, so what, they just get a new batch of domains (for email, for the company etc..) and they're starting over with little cost (what, maybe $40 in domains?). All we can do is educate as many people as possible. [/QUOTE]
