domain Scam ?

[editionblog]

Today an email came to me which was from

Opera Software <[email protected]>

and writes like that

Hello,

Could you send me price for the name mentioned in the subject line?

By the way, investing in domain names is not the main direction of our business
but a good way to generate additional income.

If you have other domain names for sale please send us the complete list with
prices for consideration.

I'm a very busy person so it may take several hours before I respond

Looking forward to do business with you.

Regards,
Jon Terner
Vice President
Opera Software

There is a "SEARCH" button here on dnf. If you would type "Opera software" there you would find answer.

Scam. Check the email headers; mine was from a dial-up connection in Russia...

This line sure looks like a very unnatural way of writing...:suspicious: (mass email)

rev'ed some from other software companies too.

Very common scam. Get them every other week....

We should all take the "bait a mugu" stance with these kinds of things.... If you are not familiar with bait a mugu then google it... Some really funny results

You just gotta love the "By the way, investing in domain names is not the main direction of our business

Got the same one two days ago - I replied - "$1 million dollars and if you ask for an appraisal your dog will get hit by a truck."

I have yet to hear back.
