is this a email a SCAM?

X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1441

Hello.

We are interested in acquiring xxxxxxxxxxxx.com.

How much do you want for transferring xxxxxxxx.com to us? We prefer to hear your price rather than making offers.

We often buy various internet properties and will consider other domain names and websites you might have available. We recently acquired oklahoma.com, qn.com, smartsearch.com etc. I advice you to save our contact information and contact us should you put any internet properties for sale in the future.

Best regards,

Kevin Lynch

They are contacting you. Make them give you an offer and then if you don't like it, tell them to fuck off.. Just remember not to transfer the domain before you see some $$$

Supposedly it is legit, however they are looking for suckers who want quick cash. I received one too.

Search on google for creativemedia.com, you will see he spams whois info with these offers. Also, most of the time he never replies to people actually interested in selling. If he does, he offers 1/10 of their asking price, like $100.

I got two. If you do a search in Google you'll see it's a scam.
