I recently received an email from a company called ELT LLC, stating they wish to buy my domain, I suggested that they offer as I was clueless on how much it was worth. Their reply: Can you accept 12,000 USD? Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name? Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary. Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain appraisals. Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It's very important for me in terms of reselling too. But we must engage a valuation company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I and my partners trust. To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies. Please check this blog with suggestions from other sellers and buyers: http://webtalk.007sites.com/Archive/426319.htm If, for example, the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly. It will be fair. I also hope you can give me 12% - 15% discount. After you send me the valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to obtain it) we'll continue our negotiations. Hope we can come to an agreement fast. Now, to me, this sounds far too good to be true and immediately set off alarms in my mind. I somehow think this is just a way for me to buy an appraisal from a list of sites and they get commission and then bugger off. So I'd like your opinions on how to manage this! Thanks.
Yes I got the same scam yesterday - as Im new I didnt know it was scam until searching online. However I did have a gut feeling that it wasnt kosher - so Id say go with your gut feelings!
I got this email when i bought my first domain... the domain name was totally worthless and they were offering me $700 scam!
