New LLL.com spam alert

=========================
From: [email protected]

Hello there,

I am contacting you to offer you some cold, hard cash. Unfortunately in this case you have not won the lottery, nor do I need you to help me wire a ridiculous amount of money.

I am contacting you in relation to the domain name ***.com which I am aware that you own.

I was just curious as to whether you would be prepared to sell the rights of ownership to this name to me? If so, I would be prepared to offer you $1000 USD?

Payment would happily be rendered through any medium you feel safe utilizing.

I would greatly appreciate a response in a timely manner.

Yours

James Watson

Got the same email for a LL.net as well

I don't think this is spam. GMX.ca was purchased for 20K euro and they also bought GMX.com.

Why are you posting this? Try responding first....


on second note...it is a free email service...

 

[karter9977]

He doesnt own GMX.com. GMX.com is an email service. I could be wrong but I am pretty sure.

Still waiting on mine from this one.

and yes I doubt this was an offer from GMX

Have some people who contact every LLL.com owner with lowballs offers and then resell them here or anywhere else... not so difficult to code a script who mail the 17.000 owners with an offer.

It's just a business like another, many LLL.com owners have no idea of the value of their domains.

Got the exact same email for a couple of our LLL.coms. Guess I will get a few more if he emails all owners...

[tristanperry]

This is starting up again, just to warn you guys Received it on a one-word .net I have.

He didn't give an offer though - just asked if I want to sell.

Wasting their time is always fun, so I replied.

 

[Mazkel]

Just got this today on a one word . net.

I've received that email 2 days ago

And replied:

Hello James,

Thanks for telling about the lottery and the ridiculous amount of money, now I will probably ask a bigger price than usual.

What's your best offer? Try to make it decent or we're losing our time.

Kind regards,
Andrei
