Hah, alright, so I'm looking at this one domain I just registered, and as i'm researching potential buyers on google i discover that this particular domain was previously used as a fake bank in one of those mass email scams...

Now is this such a blackmark that I'll never be able to sell this domain? Seriously. I'm parking the domain and seeing what sort of traffic is going to it. After having found out all of this, I'm a little bit curious if there's not traffic still coming to the domain for the mass spammage. If the domain is still getting a lot of traffic, is it's previous history enough to keep potential buyers at a distance?
