1. This appraisal scam usually happens with newly registered domains. I fear some people working in registrars might be involved in this.

   1. Husain,

      This domain was over 10 years old

2. lol!

3. Lmao

4. I got an email similar to this, except when I told him I’ll sell my domain for $3000-4000(can’t remember exact price i said), he said he’ll offer me $10 000. His name was aaron zuckerberg.

5. Ask him how the weather is in Nigeria! 😉

6. I got like 10 of them in the past few days, just bots scraping whois info, they need to be shut down.

7. *gasp* But he is the CEO, how can it not be true?

8. I got exact same email….

   I quickly response…..Love You long Time… $2 !

9. This guy aaron keep forcing me to go to a website spend $49 for his satisfaction .. here is what he wrote when i told i got it verified with sedo…

   Very good but Sedo appraisal service does not include the trademark infringement verification. So it’s not acceptable in our case.

   Many experienced sellers suggested me http://www.Trademark-Domain-Agency.com. They provide the free trademark infringement verification with the appraisal service. They are also doing a much more in depth analysis.

   Best regards,

   Aaron Rosenbaum

   CEO

   spammer CEO … lol

10. I wonder if he does the hotmail update scam as well …..what a shocker

11. I received the same mail today for one of my domains i have put on sale on sedo.com

12. got the same, just a day after I added the domain to my sedo account, most likly they scan for new additions

13. I got one of these the other day.

    The interesting thing for me is how many times this must actually work. There must be millions of domains not in use owned by people who fall for this scam.

    I actually enjoy finding out about the logistics of various scams and how much money the scammers make for what level of risk etc.

    The bottom line with 99% of scams is that ultimately its the greed of the person being scammed that enables it to work in the first place.

14. Great a different version of Alex.
    The people behind these idiots know what they are doing.
    The FTC should raid the offices of these idiot clowns and SHUT THEM DOWN

15. I receive emails from the same cheap-web-hosting-search.com email addresses. I never reply.

16. This just happened to me today. I wish someone would legitimately pay me “15,700 usd.” for my domain!

17. I got the similar email but the name was “David Gossman.”

18. I just got an email from David Gossman, it’s the same domain cheap-web-hosting-search.com | Well in the first email he tried to buy some domain that’s not even mine, but if I have others they are willing to buy….

19. Similar in the Netherlands with new name!

20. I received the exact same email except for the name. It looked very suspicious so I did a search and found your post. They used the same text only the name changed.

    Thank you for posting and keeping us informed.

21. I had a very similar email today from a guy called ‘Michael Berlinski (President)’ (also from cheap-web-hosting-search.com) who offered me $12,000 for a domain I only registered 7 days ago. He went on to say “I have $115,000 budget for 15-20 domains”.
    Seems like this A hole is using a few names.

22. Hi Shane, just to let people know, “David Gillerman” was the name of the recent scam emails I was getting in my inbox. The format of the emails is the same as other users report.

23. Is this site trademark-domain-agency a scam?

    1. Jatt,

       Yes

24. These scams prey on a basic human trait… Greed 😉 Of course we’d all love 20 grand for our eight-dollar domain name, and the $49 (or whatever) “appraisal” is a drop in the ocean of the promised payout.

    If it looks too good to be true, then guess what? It probably is.

    My better half gets pissy when I tell her most things on the Internet are a well disguised scam, but she’s the one clicking on the banner ads “Click Here – Free iPad”. Oh how we laughed.
