DomainInvestShop.com Spam / Appraisal Scam

By Michael Sumner • Sep 19th, 2011 • Category: Blog

We have been contacted several times over the past week from domain owners who have received spam domain purchase inquiries from Jerad Martensen of DomainInvestShop.com.  The confusion lies in the fact that he is forwarding his domain name to ours.  It is a scam, he has no affiliation with our company, and I would strongly advise you not to do business with this individual.

An email that was forwarded to us from a concerned party looks like this:

———————————————————–

Hello,

We are going to purchase your domain name.

Our company is in hosting and domain name business.

Please email us your desired price in USD or euros for the domain name in the subject line.

If you have other names for sale please email us your domains with prices.

Looking forward to doing business with you.

Regards,

Jerad Martensen

CEO

———————————————————–

The email comes from martensen@domaininvestshop.com.

Avoid this idiot like the plague.

Update: We were able to stop this individual from forwarding their domain to us for the time being using htaccess.

Another Update: Apparently this is an appraisal scam.  Don’t pay for an appraisal from this individual.
