Copy of email received from [email protected]. Domain redirects to www.bido.com, but registered to US individual.

Smells scammy to me - posting for views / your information.

One look at the domain name "bido-auctions.info" should pretty much tell you it's a scam.

yup - my thoughts exactly - thought I'd post as a heads up anyway as not seen this one before.

In general, if you are unsure, just send them a link to the domain's marketplace listing. They can't scam you that way, but you also won't lose what could have been a sale.

Always the same old appraisal scam. At one time they were even using a name similar to Namepros.
