Scammy looking email just received

pmdpmd · 17-03-2009, 09:05:49 AM

Dear sir,

we are interested to buy your domain name AATAXI.COM and offer to buy it from you for 65% of the appraised market value.

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

sedo.com
pedma.com
accuratedomains.com

If you already 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,

Thanks,
P. Miller

I know The Cure aren't as popular as they used to be but Robert should be ashamed of himself!

A little more googling and I found this thread from yesterday at namepros: NamePros.Com - Would this email be a scam?

Guy had another aa[something].com domain, so its looks like they will get round to all of us eventually!

I think mine was a Mr Burnstein

Definately a scam. Why would anyone want to buy AATAXI.COM

When I was a lad, and Hovis was still made in t'modern factory, every town had a firm called AA taxis, AAA taxis, or AAAA taxis - the idea was to get on the first page of the telephone book so that people didn't have to think hard.

That name might be quite useful ...

Just saw a taxi in Banff, huge emblem on the front with AA Taxis. I take it back

LOL.
