Spam from Sedo Users - Does Sedo have a policy

[Brassneck]

I have received a few emails recently touting fairly rubbish domain names from spammers which then direct me to the Sedo page at which the domain is listed for sale.

Do Sedo have a policy for users who spam people with their Sedo links? It's a nuisance at best, and at worst it could bring, by association, Sedo into disrepute.

Here is the form of the text from one of them:

We have for sale xxxxx. I am only contacting companies that I believe could benefit by using this domain with their own to increase exposure and traffic.

We are open to offers in excess of $250 (US dollars). If you would like to make an offer the link below will take you directly to the bidding page at Sedo.

I got another today with a Sedo link - does anybody else receive these?

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. Obviously, there is not a lot we can do about someone sending e-mails of this nature if he/she is determined to do so, but if you would like to send me the address of that person by PM, I can certainly contact them for you and explain the situation.

This is the first time I have been told of this problem, I would be interested to know if this is a widespread issue.

Regards,

Shaun
