I wonder if that's why they chose it - a dubious honour! I am not affiliated with these people!! Ironically, visitors to my domain newswire www.domaindizzy.com were up 500% yesterday from people searching for "Paulwhite47@gmail.com" to research this email.

The only thing to do is educate newbies and get the word out. Would be nice if a warning about this scam showed up as part of every domain registration confirmation and renewal notice etc,that would kill it in its tracks or at least stop it from perpetuating.Maybe also as part of whois searches too. While it may be legal its a scam in my book.

Luckily, the domain portfolio manager forwarded me the message for analysis before actually going forward with the bogus "appraise & dump" faux buy offer scam. Sadly, many naive (or blindly greedy) domainers will be taken in by this ongoing scam. We received this for a domain held by a company I work with.
