Scam Moves Web Site Again — Domain Name

Scam moves to a fresh domain.

I’m getting tired of writing these stories (again), but I consider them a public service notice.

A long running domain name appraisal scam has moved to a fresh domain name, Macez.com. That the scammers keep moving shows that the scam is working well by getting unsuspecting people to pay for an appraisal at Macez.com.

If you receive this email, hit “note spam” on your email client. Do not buy a domain appraisal from macez.com.

subject Offer for your domain (domainname.com)

We are interested to buy your domain name (domainname.com) and offer to buy it from you for 70% of the appraised market value.

As of now we accept appraisals from either one of the following leading appraisal firms:

macez.com

If you by now have an appraisal please forward it to us.

As soon as we have received your appraisal we will send you our payment (we use paypal for amounts less than $2,000 and escrow.com for amounts above $2,000) as well as further instructions on how to complete the transfer of the domain name.

We appreciate your business,

Yours truly,
