Real or fake inquiry!?

I just received an email from an anonymous person reading as follow:


"Hello!

Please respond and specify a desired price in the subject line.

If he will ask to make an appraisal and give you the link to appraisal services - FAKE.

appraisal scam

Figured.

I was visualizing some old rich swedish dude, with a sweet beard and a tobacco pipe chilling in office with a glass of scotch. Itching for his associate to get in touch with this domain owner so her can purchase it. BUT FIRST...


haha

Jackpot, we all know the Swiss have secret bank accounts. Plug in $1,000,000 and it'll be paid! :lol:

If you ever get an inquiry from Sergei Putanov, it's the real thing.

I'd make a sure bet that this is a fake inquiry. Here's why...

1. The whole reason why a "rich investor" would use a representative is so that he's not "showing his hand", since I'd stand to find out how much he's capable of paying if he had inquired myself.

For example, if Donald Trump wanted to buy my house, I'd make him pay for it. Because I know he can do it. An "average joe" buyer, on the other hand, I have no way of knowing whether he has deep or shallow pockets.

Hence, the representative. I don't know which of these situations is the case, so I have to govern myself accordingly, factoring both possibilities.

2. Why would he want the asking price in the subject line? That makes no sense; other than to let the "sucker responses" be automatically filtered by a system that reads the subject lines.

3. If he's interested in that one particular domain name... why would he want to know about others that you have, when he has no idea of either...

a) Whether you even own any other domains

or

b) If you do, what kind of names they are

Fake, fake, fake. Don't waste your time.
