Outcome - they just made money on you, the money you had spent for appraisal. You have literally paid this money to their pockets.
This one is different because they list Sedo.com and Moniker.com alongside their own site as list of places approved for appraisal. I'm guessing though that if you got an appraisal at one of those places to show them, they'd probably be like "I don't agree with that evaluation - can you also get one at pozde.com just so I can get another perspective?"

Thankfully word about this scam is spreading so they aren't going to dupe too many people.
