We receive a couple emails a week from people who say they were the former owner. And, "are you interested in selling the domain back to me"?
It looks like 70% of the time they were the former owner. But, what is interesting is that some were not. And, they want us to sell the domain to them at a small profit.
For the ones that are not the former owner. I can't tell if they are competitors of the former owner. Or, someone who just wants the name and figure we can not determine the former ownership.
Yes. Many of the times we do want to sell the domain. But, why try to "con" us? For a better price? I would say that most of the people requesting the return of a domain are outside of the U.S.
Does anyone else have any experience with this scam?
