Hi this is DEFINATELY a scam

Just a warning for you all, probably more for the inexperienced domainers

Email received today offering to buy domain name for sale, had these sort of things before but not from this email address, so I thought I would post it here. They are just trying to get you to get an apparaisal from the link they send you with the offer of $6000 or $8000 and have no intention of buying.

The email and website to beware of is
[email protected]

Unfortunately, this practice is old hat and has been going on for years. I first encountered it in the 90s with a group called EveryDayIncome.com. If a legitimate buyer wants to value a potential domain they need to so their OWN due diligence. The fact hat it is still going on must mean the scammers are still dupping unsuspecting newbies. Quite a shame.

true ...a very very OLD trick .. i almost feld for it too about 5 years ago ...

like said above , anyone who is interested MUST make an appraisal of his own , simple as that
 
Lol... yeap. I just toy with these guys now when I am bored. Waste a little of their time and then send them a estibot appraisal.
 
i received one similar. The funny thing was the company name withing the return email took you to the SEDO site ????
