Hi guys, I would like to share my experience about selling a website and getting it apprised. I had a site for sale and a guy with this email address approached me to buy one of the sites I had parked on SEDO,, domain-business@lowcost-hosting.com, also he introduced himself as Robert Schneider CEO of the firm that wanted to buy the site. that is the image I got in my email. He offerd me an unbelievable amount for my site that is parked for about 2 weeks and no content, no seo nothing. I thought this is my day to make money, but here is the catch, he sent me an email saying that he will buy it only if I get it apprised and all of his messages are pointing me to only one thing that I need to get it apprised my website at the following website (I pasted it from my conversation with him) Many experienced sellers suggested us http://www.Trademark-Domain-Agency.com as a trustworthy manual service. They charge about 50 euro per name and provide free trademark infringement verification. We've read only positive comments about them. (This is just a part of the email to give you an idea of what he is looking for, it is not about what the message is indicating) this smelled fishy and I checked the reputation of that website and found that it is nothing but trsh. I am posting on here just to warn other members to be aware of this person and not fall for his tricks. Do share your experiences. Thanks and goodluck in getting your site apprised.
Definitely, low low life scammers, my intention of this post is to warn all aspiring IMarketers to not to fall for these tricks to get rich overnight.
I'm sure not many people fall for this scam and those who do deserve to be scammed, it won't be the first or the last time in their life if they're that stupid..
That is a very well known scam. It has been around for a few years, in fact. Basically, they take the money pay for a bogus appraisal and then vanish. If a buyer wants an appraisal, the buyer should pay for the appraisal. If anybody in this forum ever receives an offer for their domain from a genuine human being who can't quite agree on price or who wants an appriasal, feel free to contact me. I can provide an appraisal that is realistic, useful, and informative. And I can negotiate between you and the buyer who approached you. But this appraisal scam is simply a spambot. There is no human being to communicate with.
