My Response:

Shawn,

Time for you to take a break.

I already own Cotton-Tales (.) com.

What will you do? Buy it from me and then sell it back?

Okay. I will sell it for $15,000.00. Pay me via escrow.

Then I will buy it from you for $200.00.

I should be charging you for this little scam you are running.

Regards.

Gerry

This was regged as a potential site for our therapy dog Reading program my wife and I established

Our primary pooch and star of the program is Cotton.

Shawn,

If you are a member here - honestly I hope this little direct contact thing you have going on is working.

But, seriously - 2 to 4 emails a day??? Surely someone else must own a domain name or two.

I been getting the same emails on domains I own.

Lol some people are really reaaaaally stupid...

Up until a month or two ago a site was openly trying to sell a domain I owned for at least 6 months.

I was about to report it to the police for attempted fraud.

What is even more incredible are two things:

Usually he does not own the .com and it is avail for reg fee.

Plus...

He never responds back.



This is the first time I have seen him try to sell me a name I already own. I had to quickly double check my names. I was freaking out that somehow I had let this drop. It means nothing to anyone except my wife and I.
