  • Has anyone encountered a similar Domain name email scam? Is it?

    Where can i report this person? Have you encountered similar scams?

    So I got an email from someone holding this email address:buy-domains@web-name-service.com.

    The email is as follows:

    Hello!

    We are interested in purchasing (domainname).com. I noticed that it was for sale. Please let me know your price.

    Our company is investing in web projects and web names.

    If you sell more domains I will review them.

    Best Regards,

    David Abramson

    Co-owner

    Web Host Clue Inc.

    I hoped it was a legitimate interest so i checked out the website connected to there email address(www.web-name-service.com) and I was forwarded to a site that looked legitimate(http://www.webhostingclue.com/)

    So I replied with a price for the domain name to see if this person was serious.

    I then got this reply:

    1500. Ok.

    1. I need a professional evaluation (appraisal) from you.

    It should be from an independent evaluation company. I don't trust automated services from companies I've never heard about.

    Without a professional evaluation we both cannot be sure in the final sale price. It will minimize the investing risks.

    2. I need the evaluation service with a trademark verification. It's important for us to know that you domain has no problems

    with trademarks. Some evaluators include this option in the appraisalsal service.

    I asked in the forum about reliable evaluation services. Please read this information:

    http://www.forum-windows-club.com/Archive/79458603...

    If the evaluation comes higher you can change your asking price. After you send me the professional evaluation via email (usually it takes one day to obtain it) we'll be doing business.

    What is your preferred payment method: Escrow.com, International wire transfer, PayPal.com or something else?

    So after reading that, I was a bit uneasy, I felt it could be a scam. So i digged deeper:

    First I checked out the Whois information for the forum he recommended

    and it was private registration but it was just recently registered this very year.

    Red Flag.

    Secondly I checked the Whois info for the domain name connected to his email address and not to my surprise these were the results:

    Registrant:

    Frank Tschakert

    12 Regent Close Saxton Road

    Hohenweiden, Sachsen 06179

    Germany

    Registered through: GoDaddy.com, LLC (http://www.godaddy.com)/

    Domain Name: WEB-NAME-SERVICE.COM

    Created on: 11-Apr-12

    Expires on: 11-Apr-13

    Last Updated on: 11-Apr-12

    Administrative Contact:

    Tschakert, Frank dntrader@hotmail.com

    12 Regent Close Saxton Road

    Hohenweiden, Sachsen 06179

    Germany

    0-148-265-4490

    Now, somebody seemed to have forgot private registration this time-So this Whois says the identity of the person sending me the email is not:

    Best Regards,

    David Abramson

    Co-owner

    Web Host Clue Inc.

    But a German named Frank.

    And Im am sure the owner of www.webhostingclue.com where Franks email is forwarded to does not know frank.

    Registrant:webhostingclue.com

    213 Queen's Road East, Wanchai

    HongKong, HongKong 510098

    Hong Kong

    On top of this- Franks so called web address- was registered this past April. Wow I have so much confidence getting an appraisal for this dude.

  • How do i increase site traffic?

    I recently created a basic website. I decided to add google adsense to it in order to generate some online income. I realized my cost per click is $2.24. I got like $9 from just four clicks. But since my website is just to list my domain names for sale- The traffic is minimal. Now I'm thinking maybe I should make the site into something more interesting with that clc rate? I will only list the website name if someone ask.: Are there ways to generate more traffic? or make a website more eye catching...

  • Why do people act-up online?

    Including myself, it seems people speak boldly, disrespectfully, throw bad words around and make derogatory comments. Things they would not do openly in someones face. Do you think the fact that people's real identity are kind of hidden, it brings out the devil and fantasies in them? What are your thoughts on this?

  • Why are Python Snakes not illegal to buy and sell?

    This is a revised question: I just watched a news Report about a 6 foot Python found behind a fast food restaurant. If these snakes grow to such a great size and people end up having to throw them out in dumpsters or somewhere else. Doesn't this pose a great risk to people's lives and other pets and to our ecosystem. And If someone should buy a snake like this- shouldn't they be first able to prove they have the income and resources to care for a snake like this that can grow beyond the length of vehicles(15ft etc). I think if you allow a snake like this to be sold-you put a whole community and their kids at risk of an attack or even death-almost half of the deaths have been kids and babies. Dogs and other animals have killed even more people-but they pose no threat to out eco-system. And most households even the most adorable videos you find online are kids playing with dogs.

    An estimated 100,000 pythons now roam the Everglades, a problem created by pet owners freeing snakes into the wild. The survival of the Everglades, and South Florida’s entire ecosystem relies on removing and halting the introduction of dangerous non-native wildlife,” Between 2000 and 2004, roughly 65,000 Burmese Pythons were imported into the United States. Imagine how many are in the US now. Then imagine how many are released. I bet you any many that if ownesr let go even 1000 pit bulls and other dogs to rome wild, there would be an outcry. But guess what-you want have idoits saying: well they allow people to buy and release pythons. And the other idiots say-well dogs kill more people. You can't compare these snakes to dogs or cats or rabbits etc Pythons are dangerous non-native wildlife. They will destroy our ecosystem. This is the obvious reason they weren't placed here by nature or the creator in the first place. There is suppose to be balance Nature. People are so selfishly thinking about their momentary rights of owning pythons and never think about what happens when hundreds of thousands are released. They are busy justifying it by saying dogs kill more people. While our eco system is perishing, Our government or States, especially Florida have to use our money to hunt the snakes in order to preserve our eco system, tourist are not going to the evaglades as much because hundreds of thousands of Pythons are chilling there, .............

    This is ridiculous- I recently saw a youtube video with some young people showing swag with snakes around their necks at a beach- making fashion statements etc but never thinking the snake will grow past 15 ft and they will have to release it.

    This is one of those cases where people have to learn the hard way_ You can't debate with them. Just like a man who has to learn by getting slaughtered by a pet tiger in his New York apartment. You heard that a pet tiger- I bet he would say_well dogs kill more people- I have a right to have a tiger. Never thinking what might happen If the tiger got out his apartment etc. Having a right does not make something sensible or right. In some places they believe they have a right to kill in the name of politics, religion etc but having a right does not always mean something is right. If a zoo left its cages open and a snake got out and killed someone-You don't think that would draw attention. It should draw even more attention knowing thousands of snakes are being released every year. But nobody cares until the problem hits home.

  • Should I purchase a jeans that's too big?

    I saw two jeans that i fell in love with at first sight, but they are way too big; Actually they are labeled big and tall and the smallest size i saw was a 44*30. Now I am about 6 feet, with a size 34 waist and about 174 pounds. Because these jeans are new-there is no other way of getting them in any other size as they were made for big and tall people-but to look so good and fit so well(not baggy) in the pics. Do you think it's a good idea to still purchase them and have a tailor or someone bring the waist in to my size or will it not work? thanks for your advice.

  • Why didn't my Fried dumplings come out chewy?

    I know the baking powder makes the dumpling light and lifts it a bit, but I am wondering if the reason my dumplings didn't come out chewy enough is because i used too much baking powder. The first time my dumplings texture was like cake or cornbread, so i used less baking powder this time and it came out a bit better, but still not right. I want it light and lifted but also chewy. I remember my grandma made some killa dumplings-so good all you needed was some butter. I also used butter, milk, etc. If you have experience please lend your advice-If you are from the Islands like Trinidad or Jamaica-that would be great. thanks in advance Top Chefs.

  • Is baking soda and baking powder different and what is the amount to use in frying dumplings?

    I was trying to make some fried dumplings and I had enough flour to make four dumplings. For the first time it fried golden and quickly, but I had one problem: It did not taste like dumplings; it tasted more like cake. The first thing that came to mind is that I added too much baking powder(double acting) over a teaspoon. The dumpling had too much lift and it was crumbling instead of chewy. If you have experience frying dumplings, can you guide me here? Thanks in advance.

  • How to win NY lottery game called: Numbers?

    I just played a game called numbers. It's similar to pick 3. You pick three numbers and win if you match in order or any order. I did not match any of the numbers, but I had the same sum as they have. Will I win or did I have to tell the retailer I want to also play lucky sum? I did not see a lucky sum option on the play card or explained on nylottery.org so I assumed I would win if I got the sum right. If you have played this game before let me know how this lucky sum works, because i have the same sum, but i don't know if I will get anything?

  • What does it mean when God calls someone a "Great leader"?

    Now everyone is loved by God equally; he is no respecter of persons. Nevertheless, In the bible God prophesied over certain people lives by saying they will become a great leader: I think he said that to Abraham, Moses................ These people seemed to have been the leaders of their generation, not just someone leader in the world. And I don't mean Obey God you you'll be great or follow these principles etc. These people who were called to be great leaders had an enormous stage that is admired to this day, tougher than usual trials, power, closer than usual with God. I'm just guessing or trying to make sense of what I get from it. So the term "Great Leader" in the bible really signifies what about a persons calling?
