I have a Live Scammer! Unreal This Guy!

LOL! Yes, I understand 100%. I'm just saying in general, even if it WASN'T a scam, I could care less what an appraisal values one of my names at. If I don't want to sell for less than X price, that's my business and nobody should assume that getting an appraisal will change my mind.

That said, I know that the above conversation was with a scammer, which is obvious. I was mainly referring to people who actually would try to talk somebody down by asking them to get a real appraisal through a credited legit service, which would still be stupid if you ask me.

To those people, I say, "There's the door."

Next time someone gets one of these, tell 'em you want $50 for the name - wont bother you again.

Playing around with a scammer is a bad idea. He obviously has your email address from whois. Do you want to tick him and his hacker buddies off? The less of a target you make yourself the less chance you will be targetted. Toying with him can lead to trouble. There is nothing good that can come of it. You don't win any prizes for making fun of the scammers. However if the scammer gets you to open a keylogger or if he manages to hack into your local puter...well then you're screwed.

Stop playing is my advice.

Next time just don't even read the email if you know it's a scam. I agree with labrocca.

you should just save your time and do something else other than waste it dealing with a scammer whose identity remains obscured at best and of no business value....you are giving him hope whenever your reply to his/her mails!

I got the exact same email from this guy last week.

In the end he asked to be a broker to sell the name for a 15% cut, which I'm not interested in.
