Wow! Spammers Are Raising the Bars!
Hello
It seems that there are efforts on the dark side to change the game rules and pass the regular spam barriers!
I was offering a domain for sale on Flippa, and while I was receiving regular bids there, I received an email from somebody stated that he is interested in the domain, asking about the price and if I have any additional domains for sale.
I told him that the domain has already been sold, and I have some other domains for sale and I am open for offers for these domains.
That's when the fun begins!!
He replied with that, he is interested in my domains, however, he can't buy a domain that doesn't have a professional appraisal
Till then, I was dealing with him as a customer, I replied to him politely that I have sold many domains without appraisals, and I believe appraisals don't add any real value, people buy domains according to the benefit for their business, and determine the value of the domain according to commonly known factors (domain age, word count, keywords..etc)
He replied again that he asked market professionals
and they prohibited him from proceeding with any domain purchase without a professional evaluation...
And Voila
At the end of his email, he add links to services he believe to be good for domain evaluation, and he didn't forget to bash some other services and mention them as being useless (according to his experts recommendations).
I finally realized after 3 or 4 emails that I am dealing with a smart spammer..
Why I believe he is a spammer??
When I re read his emails, I found a general tone, no personalization, the same email can be sent to thousands of other domain sellers without any changes...
And more importantly, does a real customer send recommendations?
If he was a real customer, and truly believe in the value of domain appraisals, he would grab domains he believe to be valuable for few bucks (I wasn't asking for high prices for the domains), perform the evaluation, then sell them for a higher profit margin
Isn't this what a true domain flipper would do??
That's why I was impressed more than being upset!
how far spammers can go!
But what I truly can't understand, why these people spend such time to do spam, while they can use the exact time and effort to build a legit successful business?
I believe spam is not easy, especially when you try to come out with new ideas!
