    This has been around for quite awhile and is a well known scam. I have received the same emails as you have several times now. The way the spammer operates, is they get a referal commission or payment from you after you submit your websites to be appraised.

    If this is a scam, it sure is a sleek way of going about it! :eek: I would certainly have fallen for this.

    Was that all of the domains you own and had appraised? If so, $50k for them should have been a red flag. Those domains, all together, are actually worth about $75. AT THE MOST. I honestly wouldn't pay more than $20 for the lot of them.

    Yeah, I had one of those recently as well and I couldn't believe my luck as to have someone offers me 5G for something I bought for $ 6 something couple of months back. It IS a nice name mind you.

    Anyway, good luck suing that guy, He lives in where the tsunami was.
