Scam domain buyers emails ?

November 27, 2007 | Author: Me | Filed under: Domain Industry News, General

If you received an email that looks or smells like a scam, like the one below or if you don’t know:


Hello,

I’m interested in your domain name. Hope you have not sold it yet.

Did you get offers from other people?

I need to know your desired price. Please don’t ask to make an offer. Just email the desired price.

I run a software company. We develop client-server systems and databases in Oracle for a local company. Buying and selling domain names is not my main business. Just another way to invest money and make additional income.

I wish you and your family Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Best regards,
Andrew Kayat Ph.D.
President
Back End Software Engineering

Another scam email you might receive:

Hello,

Please reply me with your asking price for actoinpoker.net. I’m browsing periodically domain auctions and your domain has good potential (in my humble opinion).

We are working on software market. Reselling gives us a new income opportunity.

Looking forward to do business with you
