For the following emails:

Urgent Notice:

CAUDIRECT.COM, is now available for sale.

This domain had previously been unavailable, but for a limited time, you have the opportunity to acquire it if you choose.

Since you own the MACAUDIRECT(.)com version of this domain name, we wanted to provide you with the opportunity to own the preferred dotcom version.

CAUDIRECT.COM is a good domain name and, as you probably know, the dotcom is a far stronger version of the name.

* dotcom is the strongest brand on the internet.
When people think of a website, they intuitively think 'dotcom'.

* Avoid lost website traffic.
The odds are good that there are people trying to get to your website are inadvertently going to CAUDIRECT.COM because they assume that's where they can find you.

* dotcom conveys Professionalism and Premium quality
that dotnet & dotorg cannot match.

If you have any interest I encourage you to act quickly because this domain name will only be for sale for a limited time.

How much is CAUDIRECT.COM? Find out here

Please advise,
Pat Kenedy


-------->Then later, the same day!:


Earlier today I emailed you about the domain name CAUDIRECT.COM,but I forgot to mention something at the time...

If you decide to buy the MACAUDIRECT(.)com version of your domain name, you don't actually have to rebuild a brand new website to get great value from the CAUDIRECT.COM domain name.

What many people do is simply forward the dotcom domain to your existing site. If you do this, whenever anyone goes to CAUDIRECT.COM they end up on your current website.

Forwarding the dotcom to your existing website is super simple and takes less than two minutes to set up (we're happy to help with this if necessary). To grab this domain while it's still available, you can buy it online at: CAUDIRECT.COM or by phone by calling 1(303) 586-6416.

--------> Then again, one day later:

A couple of days ago I emailed you about the domain name CAUDIRECT.COM. Since you own the MACAUDIRECT(.)com version of the domain, I thought you'd want the preferred CAUDIRECT.COM version.

If you're interested, please let me know or use the secure link below to buy the domain as soon as possible otherwise I'll make other plans with the domain.

Ahah well done ;)
But this is the idiot message of the week :D
 
Domain idiot of the day - and the award goes to... this is very funny
 
I can't get this guy to stop emailing me. I even unsubscribed, but that made no difference...

Is this guy a member here?

Well, I hate to admit it, but I will.

These guys, Crucial Domains, make a good chunk out of dropped domains and during the tasting period they spam potential buyers.

A few days ago I bought one from them, a two-worder .com for $50. The price was more than fair and the transfer went smoothly. In about 2 weeks I will be transferring it away from their registrar.

Their prices are fair, and I don't even mind one email alerting me. What I don't like is six emails for the same domain. That gets old.
 
LOL wait until after you buy one. I got 4 email requests to confirm that I have control of the domain, from 4 different emails.

Oh, that's funny.
 
Hopefully the changes in tasting fees will stop these guys...
 
looks like they use an automated tool to parse domains for relevant matches. like if i had a domain like compassnavigation.com they would send me an email about assnavigation.com, its much stronger version
 
=] Well its working for them...but I would not like getting spam emails over and over again
 
I should probably reconsider...Cau is shorter than Macau ...it's probably easier for visitors to remember.
 
maybe i'm confused. i thought Macau is geo, but what is Cau? i thought thats why youre calling them an idiot. or did i completely miss your sarcasm?
 
uhhh option B :)
 
Offering you Cau instead of Macau...and thinking it was good...is truly Idiotic!!!!

Can' t you just "block sender" to stop their emails?
 
Wow there's a script that needs some fine tuning... sounds like a decent business model but definitely needs some tweaking - was good for a laugh though. Thanks Pat for making yourself look like a tool!
 
Got probably thousands of these
Easy to filter - just blackhole all emails containing "Kenedy"

LMAO... :) :smilewinkgrin:
 
The domain idiot of the day, of the year, and of life will always go to those who jumped into dotmobi after Flowers.mobi was sold (cough) for six figures.

Nothing will rival those people whose twisted and perverted reasoning had no bounds in defending CRAP dotmobi names, which is basically all of them. If you saw a $1,000 in the street or a free dotmobi name, you would take the $1,000 over all but maybe 5 dotmobi's in the world, and that would only be because there are still a few fools who will buy the names. Amazing how much fraud went on with that pumping yet absolutely nobody stood up to them and made anybody pay the price.

When I think of idiot and domains, I think of dotmobi first. Hence, this post.
