Are these scam PM offers?

I have received offers from two new members that registered on the same day I posted the for sale thread pretty much, and offer the amount that I asked. Their English is very sketchy, and I'm afraid to do business with them.

When an offer starts with, "Hello dear", it sure does sound an alarm. Reminds me of those nigerian lotteries and bogus emails I get every day.

Once I told them due them that I would not feel comfortable selling due to their no track record on DNF etc, one of them almost begged for me to sell it to them.

However, they use the same format in pm pretty much, and they both have "gold" memberships.

Is this a common occurance? I'm 99% sure that they are simply scammers, but just want to verify. They both claim to have found my thread from "Google".

interesting point to look out.
 
tell them you will only use an escrow service.
like Sedo escrow is pretty secure
 
As suggested; Escrow or EscrowDNS & they pay fees.

If you think the PMs are suspicious, feel free to report them (using the report button).
 
Okay, I reported those two for investigation. One of the users will just not stop PMing me almost begging for it. Too suspicious/sketchy.

Might just have to put him on block (I think you can do that) and have this posts removed from the thread as he will not stop.
