Hi guys,

Today i received an email from a 'domain realtor'.
He claims to represent an investor from the Emerates who is interested in buying one of my domains.
After I accepted his offer and he informed me that:

"He needs an appraisal service that also verifies possible trademark infringements. It's important for us to know that your domain has no problems with trademarks. It won't be a problem for you since some official appraisers offer this option (trademark infringement verification) as a bonus to the appraisal service. It will take only 2 minutes to order it."

And.....


"Please don't worry - the appraisal value will be very good. You won't get a low figure.
I work with this official appraisal company. I send them clients and they appraise names at the values I need. It's very good for the industry because players are not interested in selling domains cheap. Just order the service and email them your domains with the comment that you have a buyer with $X,XXX offer and you need the appraisal near this value."

The domain he send the email from was asp-hosting.org.
I didn't buy into it but I wanted to share the info so people won't get scammed.

Thanks,
Steven
