This is another spamming idiot from [email protected]

Hi,

I'm promoting this prime domain today to several targeted recipients.

The first to reply with "SOLD" will have the opportunity to acquire it for $[].

I look forward to hearing from you,

Correct. These spam emails serve one purpose: to see if you will express interest in a domain, which they then attempt to secure and flip on the spot. Some of these scum suckers are more inept than others.

I thought it was just natural for everyone to do a quick Whois check when presented a domain offer, if everyone does that then they'll get no sales.

That's just reminded me of some other bell end that contacted me few days ago, trying to sell me a domain he doesn't own.

Subject: I have a domain you may be interested in.
From: [email protected]

Hello,

I noticed that you are currently advertising under the term "latest football news" on msn and it's costing you about $0.70 per click, that's more than $1,417 per month!

I own latestfootballnews.com which is closely related to your keyword and may help in driving organic traffic and improving SEO. This way, you wouldn't have to spend as much on adwords because you could get some organic traffic as well as natural search traffic based on "latestfootballnews".

I'm only asking $ for this domain. If you are not interested, I understand and apologize for the inconvenience, but if you would like to buy it, please let me know.

Thank You,
John

I reported him to the real domain owner, think hes sorting it from there.

I really MISS one of the spammers.

I'll never know who he was, but he seemed to have a good grasp of the keywords I was interested in, and for about 2 years would send me an offer to buy domains that would likely interest me about 2 days before the drop. Of course I would then go and backorder them instead of replying. I never replied to any of his emails or offers, but picked up some nice domains cheap.

Whoever you are... I miss you!

JuniprPark, that dude still emails me. Same story here, have picked up some killer Backorders thanks to him - I think "he" is from snap/nj. Reminds me of the old "we want to buy your domain" appraisal racket with the eventual referral to Sedo that was somehow them doing it but they never got caught lol

I sure have seen plenty of spam lately, seems like people are hell bent on mailing me for every single new domain registration with some design offer or SEO offer from India. I have also unsubscribed from Network Solutions spam at least 10x and yet they continue to mail me daily. Fun!

The dude is "Alex" and he always has a different made up mailing address in his emails, at the end of his emails he puts some random life quote to help defeat spam filters I'm guessing lol
