    Hi everyone,

    I bought a domain recently called fifa22.com and recieved an offer for $15k from a business called eliteinvestments. Thanks to this site, I know no its a scam ;)

    But on a serious note, how much do you think I should sell this domain for? I am in desperate need of cash! Or do you think I should hold out until EA give me an offer?

    I have never sold a Domain before, so really dont have a clue.

    Thanks People :D

    I do not think the domain is even worth $15 , they may be trying to scam you.

    Fifa is a global trademark, therefore I think there is money behind this domain.

    Thanks

    if you are sure that its not a scam, then you can accept the offer...

    i think 15k is a handsome price for a undeveloped domain.....

    If I were you I would ask them to put there offer in writing with all the terms if I were you and the deal is real I would jump on it right away. But be careful do not send any money at ALL or send it to there escrow account for that kinda money use a lawyer.

    And that's what I was surprised. I have so many good domains but I am not even getting the basic price and how come you get $15k for a domain that you just registered.

    Be careful with as people find out new ways to scam others.

    EliteInvestments is a scam. They emailed me a week ago and offered me $15,000.00 for one of my domains. It is a scam to get you to pay for their appraisal service.

    I wanted to have some fun with it so I replied and said that I had another offer on the table for $90,000.00 for the domain and asked if they could beat that. They just replied and said that we could discuss it after I bought the appraisal.

    If you can sell it before you get sued by fifa for stealing their trademark and trying to monetize on it, you can congratulate yourself. Good luck when you get their lawyers after your ass... Not only will you not make any money, you're gonna end up losing thousands in lawsuits. And that's just if you're lucky. You could end up far worse. If I were you. I'd never tell anyone I owned this domain and would wait quietly and pray it will expire before I get my ass busted.
