Recieved an email from a domain broker, am I being scammed?

Who knows if its a scam or not, but the best way to deal with it is simply to say, make an offer. Don't ever pay for anything when you sell a domain. Appraisals, escrows, whatever. The buyer should pay for everything. After all they are trying to get what you have.

Also, if there is some PS we saved a lot of money ... check it out click here, then you have a spam.

 

escrow? you can pay escrow. At least escrow.com's service simply takes money out of their payment. for instance if you cover escrow on 1000$ deal, you would get paid 1000$-escrow fee.

 

No, they buyer always pays the escrow. never pay out of your pocket any escrow fees if you are selling. It's ok to take it out of the sale, but never, ever pay for a buyer's escrow out of your own pocket.

 

maybe im not clear enough, in a seller pays any sort of fees at escrow.com its taken from buyer's payment. so no payment, no fee for seller. at least that is how it was.

 

You are clear enough, and correct about escrow.com. Glad you clarified.

 

LOL, I just received this same e-mail. Thanks for filling me in.

 

Don`t sell your domain now you can sell it later .. it will be more expensive in the future

 

i recive same email they told me for do appraisal. I am doing already appraisal with godaddy. I show godaddy appraisal and they stop answering my emails.

100% Scam

 

sell it later

 

Thanks for all the posts, it's great to have a place to check on stuff like this.

 

I just received the same email dude. It definitely seems like a scam.

 

I have just received a similar email too, searched for the domain it came from and came to this forum. thanks for the info guys - good to know we are a community which helps each other with this despicable type of act.

They have been very busy sending out that particular e-mail these past couple of months.
I've received it for 6 out of the 14 new domains I recently registered.
They're in overdrive.
