Persiankitty.com sale scam! - GoFuckYourself.com

PersianKitty · 01-16-2003, 02:02 PM

First...

If you receive an email from anyone stating they are selling persiankitty.com don't believe them. It's not for sale at any price let alone the pittance this scam artist is asking.

Last week, I received a handful of emails from people looking for information regarding an email they had received from a guy named "Peter Barnidge" and "Peter Brome". His email claimed that he was looking to sell the domain persiankitty.com (not a misspelling of the real name). His initial correspondence was through a Yahoo email address (big clue right there). I have seen a subsequent email address that was from UNC.edu (University of North Carolina).

When pressed for more information in reponse to his email, he claimed to be a co-ower of Meow Media, Inc. (my corporation of which I am sole owner and officer). He presented (not titled) traffic and revenue reports when asked. I've not see these reports at all nor heard what they claimed.

Anyone that emailed me regarding this last week received a reply from me that the domain was not for sale and that Mr Barnidge was attempting to scam them.

Today I received an email from someone who believe him enough to deposit money in his Paypal account. He'd told the guy that he and I were both students working on Master's in Accounting at UNC and needed money for medical bills and tuition.

I don't know if the person he scammed has any recourse or not. It doesn't sound like there was anything in writing, just via email.

Buyer beware!

Is it really wise to use Network Solutions as the registrar for the domain? ..

They are not exactly known for their ability to see through scams ...

Just something to consider

CDSmith · 01-16-2003, 02:31 PM

Amazing what some fools will try to pull off these days. *shakes head*

Incidentally, just how much was he asking? Was it an insultingly low amount, like $50k?

All of my correspondence with them has to have a password for authentication. They email me any attempts at change... (believe me their has been attempts).

and here I though I now owned persian kitty......damn.......

just be happy they didn't get any controll of your register.

there's always some theif trying to run some sort of scam out there, the funny thing is if these theives ran honest businesses they would probally make MORE money.

Mr Pheer · 01-16-2003, 02:48 PM

i'll give you $1.50 for it....

i know it seems kinda low, but it would take most of my day to run that site, too much work

Always nice to see the scum caught red handed.

Chris R · 02-07-2003, 07:51 PM

Wow - I am glad they did something.

Seems like getting cops inolved in internet scams is sometimes nearly impossible.

Selling the site for $2,000 - bet he thought he was getting a deal.

Guess he never heard of the "if its too good to be true"...

Rictor · 02-07-2003, 07:53 PM

I just wonder who this guy was that he would be clueless enough to think a site like Persian Kitty would go for 4 figures. LOW 4 figures at that!

PersianKitty · 02-07-2003, 07:54 PM

A thing I found odd was the only revenue stuff he presented was an AlbionMedical affiliate account. I don't even have one.

gothweb · 02-07-2003, 07:55 PM

Let's put it this way.. People paid him, right? Because people are stupid. He picked a price that people would be willing to part with, preying on those who can't resist a deal that is too good to be true.

Probably figured it would be easier to get nibbles for a very low amount than a very high one.

Captain Evil · 02-07-2003, 07:57 PM

Anyone want to buy the Hun? Only $100.

Snake Doctor · 02-07-2003, 08:03 PM

They negotitated the price @ $2000. With $1000 down and 25% of the sites earnings for the first six months.
($1000/6 months = $166 a month x 4 = $664, so PersianKitty makes a whopping $664 a month)

Damn PK, times must be tough over there huh?

No, I'm talking about the buyer, I know why the "seller" set such a low price, but anyone who owns an adult site should know that you can't buy a domain like persiankitty.com for spare change.

so PK, I sent the money requested in the email, when are you transfering your URL over to me???

PersianKitty · 02-07-2003, 11:46 PM

nahh.. there weren't enough commas and zeros in what you sent.

Mr.Fiction · 02-07-2003, 11:56 PM

If that guy wouldn't have paid the $1000 then the scammer wouldn't be in such big trouble. It's the best $1000 he ever spent.

Theo · 02-08-2003, 12:08 AM

PK you got mail

Southern-Man · 02-08-2003, 02:58 AM

who really gives a flying fuck about persankitty.com

Socks · 02-08-2003, 03:00 AM

Yeah, I think I'd be just as mad at the person who tried to buy it, they were trying to fuck you just as much as the person trying to sell it IMO

Loch · 02-08-2003, 04:01 AM

My god!
Cant believe he actually pulled it off, errrrr...until he was caught that is

Matt_WildCash · 02-08-2003, 04:49 AM

If it sounds too good to be true, 99% of the time its a scam remember this fact and follow it. Will save you a lot of money in the long run.

DemonWolfe · 02-08-2003, 05:19 AM

Damnit!

I just bought two bridges from this guy and some foreign site called "thehun.net"....

I have a bitter sweet fondness for persiankitty.com myself. I remember doing one of my first "for surfers" sites back in the nineties. I submitted it to the engines, and to persiankitty. She was the first to ever list one of my surfer sites. (pk broke my cherry)

Was on a paid host, around 7.25 a gig, no clue on how to optimize pictures, nor how many to use, just slapped some banners on it, very haphazardly. Well the nice lil kitty listed my piss poor site with a god awful amount of content.

Got a unforgettable crash course in web economics in just a few days. Ok pk did not just break my cherry, pk gang raped me, but it was my fault and I did ask for it. That little lesson nearly killed me on the spot when I saw my hosting bill.

Thankfully I learned thanks to the ynot chats, and even from pk in mirc. Just in time to make some changes before I submitted to this hun site.

Sense that time pk has nearly always made me money.
