I just tried this tactic I suggested above and I haven't received a response yet, although it's only been a day. You are probably right. They're just pounding the spam and responding only to those people who are clicking the links to get started in their scam scheme. If they respond, I'll send you their info so you can post it in a followup article. cheers! hmmm… I just tried this tactic I suggested above and I haven’t received a response yet, although it’s only been a day.

I've tried to egg them on. Instead, they just want people to go buy that appraisal. Stephen – the problem with these guys is that they don’t respond to any emails. I’ve tried to egg them on.

Act as if you're "in" and you're ready to deal. Then play out the game as long as possible. If all domainers do this, imagine the hundreds of requests they'll get that will go NOWHERE. Domainers, have fun with these guys! Ask them to provide as much info as possible to move forward, and act as if you are. Send emails asking them questions. Ask for a phone number. Call the number (as if they have one), but email them constantly requesting advice. boy, will that scam get old REALLY QUICK! I hate to reveal the deviousness of my mind, but those who know me know that I will come back with a battle plan 20 times worse than the "attack" someone brings to my table. And there are so many "options". lol cheers! Hi Dub-A,

Only a few are really tech savy enough to figure it is not a real offer. I think a lot of people fall for this scam. Only a few are really tech savy enough to figure it is not a real offer.
