If you get this e-mail, the word going around is this is actually Yakov: >>


Hello.

We are interested in acquiring xxxxxx.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

Director,
Creative Media

Who is Yakov?

I've received more than 2 dozen already -- the website they reference didn't impress me much with their templates.

Who is Yakov?

Yakov owns shitloads of 2 and 3 character .coms

yes, a whois lookup for creativemedia.com is sufficient to tell this

i just got one at [email protected]














i wish i owned pussy.com :1orglaugh

I sale cheap .infos:)

Thanks for posting my email on a public board.

i got a couple yesterday.

Yes this is Yakov. He has done this before. The latest batch (before this time) was last summer. At that time they made a pitch for biz/.us/.info domains. From all of the threads about this (last year and prior) I came to the conclusion he was just fishing for nice domains and low prices.

Yakov owns some very nice domains. He also has a good reputation as an honest buyer on the forums. But... he also has acted immaturely and has been banned from places (like DNF) before being reinstated.

Just ignore the emails unless you want to undersell your domains. For most, playing in this game would be like Grandma accepting a heads-up Hold'em challenge vs TJ Cloutier.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh Yakov rhymes with Jack-OFF. Thanks KRL!
