Hi guys,
Just wondered if anyone can help me with something - I registered a domain a few months ago and not really done anything with it.
I got an email from someone claiming to be a representative / broker for an Arab investor who is looking to buy up 30-40 domains.
I have had a bit of back and forth with this guy and seem to have a decent price reachable. But what worries me is that the Buyer wants the domain valued and the broker has given me a link to some Google Answers thread which I think is fabricated. The thread mentions a cheap website to get appraisals but I cannot find anything about the company offering the service.
The brokers phone number doesn't work and has been elusive when I asked about his background.
Would be pleased to hear if anyone has any similar experience as starting to get suspicious this is an elaborate scam to get details via the appraisal site. Too good to be true?
Cheers,
Astute
