Anyone know who Trout Zimmer actually are ?. I of course know
what there website says, but suspect there is more to them
than meets the eye. Their name appears to indicate a law firm
as it is the type of name but dont think they are .

They do stealth domain name acquisitions for large companies like Google, Microsoft, etc.

e.g. WHOIS history for surface.com (now owned by Microsoft):

http://domain-history.domaintools.com/?page=details&domain=surface.com&date=2007-05-25

or Hulu.com:

http://domain-history.domaintools.com/?page=details&domain=hulu.com&date=2007-08-23

If they want one of your domains, cha-ching$$$$$$$

They are legit and George is correct, I have sold them names in the past.

Noted the replies thanks. I just wonder also whether they are lawyers
or simply chose a lawyer firm type name to give some oomph to their
approaches ?. I have dealt with them also.

they are more of a buying agent. we sold m$ xRank via trout zimmer. they might need to change their name though if it is now this easy to identify who they are.
