See how the scam works and how to avoid this: http://www.highrevenue.com/spam-and-...is-domain-scam

Pretty clever considering email offers are fairly common practice in the domain industry

Just a heads up!

this is older than dirt, but there's a sucker born every minute. it commonly shows it's face around ebay domains sales.

Sad but true... All it takes is for one dude to fall for the scam per email blast for it to be worth the effort. Just like with most undesirable stuff we encounter--it persists because somewhere, somehow, someway, it gets rewarded and the benefit outweighed the cost...
