A GFY user is trying to scam one of my employees into paying for a domain name he's squatting on
So this is interesting:
A certain GFY member was waiting for one of our domains to expire, and grabbed it for $10 or so. Now he's emailing one of my employees offering to sell it to her for $2500.00.
Of course, he is within his right to do so. But also of course, he's a fucking scumbag.
I have come across domain names that we wanted, but were taking by someone else, and that were close to expiring. Did I pull a shitty stunt, buy it up from under them and try to sell it to them later? No, and I never would.
2 others on GFY went out of their way to tell us about domains that were on-brand or close enough to our brand to let us buy them. GFY has lots of very cool people - even people we spar with - are cool!
But not this GFY user I don't think. He has been emailing her since last week and playing this game. Not cool at all.
What would you do? If you found out that a domain name had become available or was about to become available that you know belonged or should belong to someone else in the industry, even a competitor, would you let them have it?
