OK, anyone have any thoughts on this now?
To recap, here's the email i got yesterday:
-------------------------
Dear owner of xxxxxxxx.net,

I have noticed that your domain "xxxxxxxxx.net" is not active and is in REGISTRAR-HOLD status, which means that it is going to be publicly available soon. I'd like to buy this domain name before it gets expired. I assume, you are not interested in keeping it for yourself.

I can buy this domain for $60 plus any renewal related expenses. What do you think?
--------------------------
I responded and got no answer back.
Today, I got a new email, from a DIFFERENT person at a DIFFERENT email address:
-------------------------
Dear owner of xxxxxxxx.net,

I have noticed that your domain "xxxxxxxxx.net" is not active and is in REGISTRAR-HOLD status, which means that it is going to be publicly available soon. I'd like to buy this domain name before it gets expired. I assume, you are not interested in keeping it for yourself.

I can buy this domain for $50 plus any renewal related expenses. What do you think?
--------------------------
Could this be a form email from some domain pickup service or something?
