Just thought I'd share this one - not sure if it is a scam or not...!
I own a .net domain name based on my name - and a few weeks ago I was sent an e mail affering the .com version for $450 (or something like that) The story was that they had acquired this at an auction and were willing to pass it on for the transfer fees and a modest profit! (I do know that the domain had been previously registered when I looked a couple of years ago)
I gave the email a stiff ignoring, and received a series (about 4) e mails from the same name and company, but from different domain email addresses - the last one offered "for one day only" a 50% discount, after which he had other plans for the name. I ignored that one too!
Then a week or so ago, I did a quick check - and there was the name - free - which I registered for £9/year for a couple of years!
Was this guy out to scam, or just a chancer looking for a quick buck? I don't know!
