Yeah, this fucker contacted me about 2 weeks ago after I posted I was working my way up to 1000 domains. He said he had a 3 char domain (.net) and wanted $xxx for it. He gave me stats 20k unique a day, but he said the stats were 12 months old. [Alarm Bell Here]

He then told me he wanted to sell hotbabes.com for $xxx and I told him it wasn't worth that. He continued to say it was and needed the money.

I can see why a few people are getting cought with this, that domain is parked and looks like its for sale. But think before you buy.

I usually ask the person to put a 1 line sentance i give them over icq at the top of the page, if it shows up on that domain then I know they have control. Then email the DNS email owner and ask them to confirm they are selling. I know this is a long way around, but its the safe way.

This guy isnt finished yet. Im sure he's got lots more people to scam.
