I'm really getting tired of looking at posts for good domains, and see some newbie/gold member has posted a rediculously low offer. And I'm quite sure the above is some sort of scam...

Anyone else annoyed?

Username who has send u this PM is ?

 

[Mark Bolyard]

I'd say that was spam / or an attempt to collect your username and password information.

 

[DavidAusman]

if im not wrong. That is extreme tracing code. If you had recently want to sell your website, probably he is trying to see your traffic. I dont think it will harm you

 

[JEsports]

You need to tell us who this is that sent this to you please.

thanks

Just feeling curious here
the extreme tracking http://extremetracking.com/open?login=meka65z
shows a website that owns by you yourself
http://extremetracking.com/open?login=meka65z
which you are currently selling...

not that i know of, usually, a ss of AWStat or similar software is the way its done, but i guess if the deal goes really big, its a pretty open possibilty, personally, i havent done deals that are on that high a level.

 

[DavidAusman]

I dont know how ppl think, but to my perspective, it is not a scam. as he or she cant do anything about it.
Extremetracking is a free public counter. if you search on google
http://www.google.com/search?source...=site:extremetracking.com+extremetracking.com
it return 204,000 user using extremetracking. You can even see their stats if you click on it. But what can you to to harm them? You cant do anything! thus, it wasnt a scam.
as you had try to sell your website for xxxx figure, ppl will tend to see your traffic is that worthed to be set at that price. Nothing special about that..

**Im not trying to cover him, but a few months back, some ppl are saying me 'aboutwhat.org is a scam' without knowing what did i do to harm them. I was really unhappy to be called that way. So, before you treat someone as a scam. try to think what he or she does to harm you.

I smell trout...or maybe salmon, but either way its fishy

Ohh... you really like to use the word fishy ..dude
Heere is my website extremetracking...tell me what you can do to harm me.

Use some logic before using the word 'SCAM' or 'FISHY' dude .....
If you need to prove that you can hack my website with extremetracking code, tell me! i will provide for you.

 

[dragonhawk]

You can't hack anyone with extremetracking code. I use it on a lot of my sites. They provide good free stats (without limits), which is why I like them. They've also been around for many many years. I'm sure that if they were a scam, something would've happened to them by now. But people are still continually using them.

 

[gptpark]

Thanks for all the feedback. If the guy would of explained what the code was then I may have responded to him right away. There are also over 500 pages on that site, so I told him to make me a reasonable offer and if I like it I will add the code to my site...

I haven't heard back from him...

 

[DavidAusman]

You shouldnt wait for him to explain. Instead, you should find out the truth before pointing someone as a 'SCAM'.
