2. Some negotiation will take place.
3. He'll then say we don't buy without a valuation.
4. You pay $60 for a valuation.
5 Guy disappears.

The initial email looks like this:

Hello,

We are going to purchase your domain name.

Our company is in hosting and domain name business.

Please email us your desired price in USD or euros for the domain name in the subject line.

If you have other names for sale please email us your domains with prices.

Looking forward to doing business with you.

Regards,

Mike Pullman

President

Brand Domain Name Services LLC


The occasionally change domains and names but the scam is the same.

How people fall for these shitty emails never ceases to amaze me.
