Dear all, Here is the trick of this guy Martensen when he want to evaluate your domain in his appraisal company. You probably get one of these emails from him: 1st mail: Hello, We are going to purchase your domain name. Our company is in hosting and domain name business. Please email us your desired price in USD or euros for the domain name in the subject line. If you have other names for sale please email us your domains with prices. Looking forward to doing business with you. Regards, Jerad Martensen CEO Domain Investing Inc Domain Name Investing & Web Development 2nd mail: 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: Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name? Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary. 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. What is your preferred payment method: Escrow.com, International wire transfer, PayPal.com or something else? Hope we can come to an agreement fast. You evaluate your domain then he vanish. Easy to sell your domain ? Searching "Domaininvestshop scam" in Google you may see alot info about this scammer. Good luck
Victim in hotscam dot com: Beware of this scammer using the name of "Domain Invest Inc". A whois search on the domain name shows that it was recently created at godaddy.com. And a web search shows that this domain redirects to another domain name, apparently a legal website. This is a scam. <martensen@domaininvestshop.com> wrote: Hello, We are going to purchase your domain name. Our company is in hosting and domain name business.
