99 percent of all sales that I thought were frauds during the past five years turned out to be frauds. The other one percent there wasn't proof. I am talkng mainly about the big money frauds like sportsbook.mobi and now we get to read about Overstock.com buying o.co for 350K....... I guess I have to believe that this is a totally arms length transaction. It is more believable than most, and it is very consistent with most frauds. Part of the scam is to entice other companies to play along and think they are missing out, so they brought in Overstock.com to do some of the dirty work. Who knows how it all played out...don't really want to know.
Kinda like Flowers.mobi, where they had the CEO from 1800Flowers.com in the audience and then Rick Schwartz outbid him. Who knows what was going on behind the scenes there. It is NOT arm's length, I will tell you that.
People can flush money down the toilet if they want. It is a free country, so go ahead and start your huffing and puffing. You will find a sucker, somewhere, I am sure. The hype will continue for quite a while. Expect to soon see lots of threads about names getting great traffic, and lots of publicized sales that make you shake your head.
Have at it. I am allowed to state my opinions, too. The bottom line is that nobody with any standing in the business has ever put themselves in a worse position in order to OUT a fraudster. If there is money to be made most everyone turns a blind eye. That's the same thing with most businesses, though.
I am just trying to open people's eyes. Most people know what is going on, but these extensions are brought on the market for one reason, and one reason only, and that is to make money for those who are behind the extention. It doesn't make the Internet any better, and it gets kind of tiresome seeing the same games played over and over again with nobody being held accountable for getting their fraudulent transactions publicized as real sales. It happens every time, and it is starting to happen already with the stupid O.co sale for 350K making headlines and making it look like dotcom isn't even an extention (yeah, I know, I can't prove it wasn't legit...that's what they all say....it is part of the scam). Whatever it is, it is not arms length, but you will see some real doozies in the next few months. You will know what I am talking about real soon.
I know all of the scams.....very shady stuff and it ruins a lot of new domainers who are eager to learn the game.
