Is this a scam?

    I am selling a domain name, and I received an email requesting to buy my site. The man said his client was offering to pay $15,000 for it, but he said I had to get it appraised from domain-words.net and that site only. When I said I’d get it appraised from any other site, he refused to do business with me. He was willing to wire me the funds after sending the appraisal certificate. I could explain the 2-5 emails we sent better if anyone has any other questions. Should I have just done what he said, or was the safe route on waiting better? I am very new to all this and don’t understand everything just yet. $15,000-20,000 price range just seemed to good to be true. There is nothing on the site just a name. No visits no ads, nothing. The site I am selling is enjoyvisuals.com

    Wow, my emails were identical but without the “xilisoft” company name.Thanks for your help, and I am glad I did not go with this fake appraisal scam. Hopefully others find this thread and also avoid the scam.

    Cheers,

    I removed the links above, we don’t want to draw any more attention to them, and the context of the emails should be enough to know if you got them or not.

    I think people should be able to find that content by writing that domain name or at least the name of their “false” company that they “own”.

    Cause by hiding this content it will get people to purchase this service and be “legally” scammed.

    What I mean by “legally” is that people will get “false” appraisal that they purchased so if people want to get refunded with the option “I did not get the product” or something they can say “hey you just purchased an appraisal that we sent you via email” and the “customer” cannot get it refunded.

    By hiding this content I think we are helping them to being unseen on the internet and people cannot avoid to purchase some fake crap.

    I didn’t hide any content, just the domain names and URLs that linked directly to the scammer.

    There is absolutely no reason to link to the scammer here. If you want to drive traffic and attention to the scammer, please post elsewhere.
