Mike Pullman Domain Appraisal Scam
Hello,
Just to let those who have domains listed at Sedo that there's a valuation scam going around. It works like this: 1. Guy from Brand Domain Name Services LLC (not a company) will email you asking how much you want for xxx.xxx domain. 2. Some negotiation will take place. 3. He'll then say we don't buy without a valuation. 4. You pay $60 for a valuation. 5 Guy disappears. The initial email looks like this: Quote:

Lol, this scam has been going on for a decade, usually they just do a mass pull of whois info and then mail out the same inquiry. I'm shocked this is the first time you've encountered it.

it is your typical scam. if he wants to buy the domain, he should pay for the valuation. it is for his protection, not yours. if you are stupid enough to fall for it, well, you deserve it.

Why in fuck would you (the seller) pay for an evaluation? Make them pay for it. How stupid.
