I got that one too. I emailed him back and told him the domain was spelled wrong and thus worthless. Safe to say I WAS NOT INTERESTED!

On their website efreinds.com (which is by the way a frame page for a Geocities.com page(http://www.geocities.com/j01001010/freinds.html), they listed 15 domains for sale, 10 of them are not registered!

I used their appraisal system to appraise efreinds.net and I got less than $100 (the lowest reading)

This guy is a pure spammer (obviously knows nothing about domains). I was getting those 2 or 3 times a day. I used the Report Spam feature on my I Hate Spam software (for Outlook) and Hotmail informed me they cancelled two of the accounts they were also using to send those messages from. I have reported to the other addresses too. I Hate Spam is great. One click and it sends the email with all of the header info to the real originating ISP to report the spammer.
