Shady Offers via AIM & Skype... anyone else?

[Mike Cruz]

I use the two for business, so I am use to getting messages from Random people, but lately it seems I have been getting a lot of shady people inquiring about buying my names, selling me their names or wanting to use my parking accounts / buy them.

Most of their names are usually just numbers and their grammar is very poor, but they ask that I call them very "American" names such as "Steve", "John", etc.

They ask about domains, ask about pricing, accept really whatever you say, then want to pay with PayPal, sorry, but some of the names I am selling and the prices I am asking, I won't accept paypal from a random. They also ask about using my parking accounts to park their domains (I am automatically assuming they just want to fraudulently send traffic and revenue) and split the revenue with me.

When I decline they are offering me $500+ to purchase my Trafficz account, etc.

Anyone else getting these shady messages or am I the only one? I am assuming these people are finding me either here or at Namepros... seriously considering not making this info public anymore as it is getting ridiculous.

You have listed most of the chat messengers in your profile. No wonder you get messages on them.Try restricting them 1 or 2 on public forums. You never know scumbugs are everywhere.

These offers are 99% scum. As soon as they hear of Escrow. U'll never hear back from them. They pay with stolen PayPal.

Yeah, I am starting to notice that. I figured not so much here and most of these forums require membership, so my info should not be available to non-registered accounts, but it seems you don't need a account on these forums to gain access to peoples information.
