Hello Everyone,
I recently got the email below from an eliteinvestment.net email address, expressing interest in my domain name. After doing a bit of research on them, I find out that others have gotten identical emails under different names since this August. From what several others have said, when you reply, the emailer writes back saying that he is willing to buy your domain at the price you indicate to them, BUT he wants you get an appraisal done from "a company that they trust".
In short, it's a scam trying to get money from domain owners for supposed appraisals!
