Thanks, you just saved me $70. They were offering me a domain based on the one I already own (minus a dash). It's not *exactly* a scam. I assume they would do what they say - "sell" me the domain for $70. So it's more of a slightly dishonest and very aggressive marketing technique. I had tried to register the same domain last year but it was parked and priced at $2500. So I was in fact more than willing to spend the $70 to buy it. Glad I did a search and found your video before pulling the trigger on that. Oh, and a big shoutout to domainnamesoutlet for ultimately alerting me that the domain I really wanted was freely available to register with my favorite registrar (Dynadot), LOL :-D.

Thank you so much. You did me a solid here. Our small publishing company's name was finally released by the profiteer who tried to get thousands from me. Needless to say, these people emailed me. I was suspicious and your video here led me to my registrar, where I immediately registered the name that should have been ours all along. Good going, and THANK YOU!

[johnbingaman]

Thank you! I almost pulled the trigger, thinking $99 was reasonable if they owned it. I had no idea that domain had come available. I quickly registered it and saved $90! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

THANK YOU very much for your scam warning! I did all the research you did, and everything seemed vague and conspicuous. I loved the way you closed your video, "Don't get scammed goddamn it!" That's why I subscribed, thanks again! P.S. Like you, I use Namecheap. I jumped right on it and purchased the domain....SCORE!

[douglassmolens]

You nailed it. I could tell it was scammy right away. But what I didn't realize is that the domain had become available to purchase normally. Thanks for this helpful info!

I barely comment on YouTube videos but I must break my streak to tell you thank you for putting together this content. Thank you so much!

[DiogenesQ]

Thank you for your heads up concerning unsolicited domain offers, I knew something was not right but had no idea that they were selling URL's they didn't own. Crosstalk is a performing a worth public serviced thanks again

[gluino]

They did you a favor by informing you that the .com may have just became available.

[cavefacts]

THANK YOU!!

I was smart enough not to fall for it, but I didn't actually realize until just now that it means that my desired domain is now available for me to buy! This turned out better than I could have hoped.

[fortifythecity]

HA! I def just received an email from these folks and thought twice. TG! I just bought my domain for less than the asking price they were offering! I appreciate you!

[hdlmonkey]

Thanks for your video, they are still trying the same scam. The good news is that their scam plus your video helped me to get the domain I had been wanting!

[Lethargyman]

Thanks! I just bought my .com domain for $10 instead of $70 thanks to this tip.

[bazilmeade]

Got the same email today sent it to a friend who is much better with technical procedures he checked it out and found it to be a SCAM . delete delete

[fujitsubo]

the amount of comments on this video trying toi justify how this isnt a scam is mind blowing.

About 10 years ago, I had a client renew their domain at the bargain price of $200 AUD for 5 years, when our price at the time was about $10/year. Some people just don't read the emails properly. She was very embarrassed when I explained what she had done.

[robcover]

Thank you for this video. It's good to know that there are those that look out for crap. The commentors below do mention getting better filters etc. We got the best and still crap get's through. We've really had to work hard at educating people. What I would love to see if an official registry of scamology exist so that I could check global alerts. . These scammers even know that if security is always high alert even then people will weary and fall prey after a period of wear out time.

I got the hyphenated .com domain. They said they own the non-hyphenated version. But they have owned it since 2017. The sad thing is; I have owned my version since about 2010. So the non-hyphenated version must have been available in 2017! I think I did get an email then, but I wouldn't have known it became available then. I just ignored it because I didn't want to pay what they said. They want $199 now.

[MarilynnTaylor]

Dude, thank you so much. I got exactly the same thing that you did and immediately did a google search. How exciting that my .com domain became available, and I too bought it on namecheap!

[michaellevitz]

Wow.... Just bought the domain for $10 not $150 lie the spam email asked for...Had no idea it was available..

[nellermann]

these used to come via mail from Domains USA or something like that. I tell all my clients to always review Domain ownership and registration items with their internal IT or our team before purchasing something they don't understand.
