It’s not the first domain appraisal scam, and it certainly won’t be the last, but I felt it was important to make a point of mentioning the latest one, pddomains.com, due to its similarity to my web site. Basically, they send an email stating they want to buy one of your domains and that they will offer you a percentage of the appraised value, provided you use their appraisal service, from which they make money. They actually have no interest in purchasing your domain.
Typographically, this domain is only millimetres away (on the keyboard) from my portfolio web site at pfDomains.com. I’d like to make it clear that I am not affiliated with these people!
This is the second scam in two day, the previous one being for macez.com. Former scams have included domains pozde.com, nameorange.com, tropicalnames.com, and flyappraisals.com, and there will be many more. It costs nothing to send an email, and just one unsuspecting domain owner who uses their appraisal service will be a profit for them. Don’t do it!
Ironically, visits to my domain name newswire DomainDizzy.com were up 500% yesterday, with people researching these domains and email contacts via the search engines.
