Thanks for the Spam — Dear Maxunis

Auction seller sends (lots of) spam to promote his domain name.

Dear “Maxunis”,

I received your e-mail from [email protected] this morning regarding your auction of a domain name on Sedo. In fact, all four of the e-mails. In your four e-mails (from your e-mail address [email protected]) you wrote:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Your website features strongly in search engines when looking for “Adult Video” or “Adult Videos” and I believe this precise and short domain name would form a useful addition to your business.

The name “—.com” would be an notable marketing tool, and it is great for the market you are in. This is since the name itself will give you the edge on your competitors and will prove to be of strategic value to your current or fresh business online presence.

The name “—.com” is short, rare, memorable, and very descriptive and could be used for your main web site or for one to complement it. The term is extremely easy to market and promote.

—.com is right now on Sedo auction with NO reserve price.

Good luck and I hope you will have a chance to win it.

Please excuse me if you received this email more then once.

I’m a bit confused. I have no idea what web site I might own that shows up for “adult video”, since I don’t own any adult web sites. Second, your “excuse me” for sending the e-mail more than once isn’t accepted. Couldn’t you have at least filtered your spam list to eliminate duplicate e-mail addresses? It’s one thing if you sent the message to four different e-mail addresses I own, but the same one?

Of course it’s against Sedo’s rules to spam a promotion. But I guess, [email protected], that you’re going to make a mint on the domain sale, so congrats to you.

Ahem…in case anyone missed that, the spammer’s e-mail address is >>[email protected]<<
