Expired domains

**monaghan** · 06-10-2005, 14:19

I recently let go a .com as it was only registered to test my domain reseller account and I'd simply been using it as a test domain.

I bunged it on a parking site for a month or so and got no interest, so didn't bother to renew it.

Now that it's been released by the registry, I've had a number of SPAM's offering me the domain for sale (some over $500).

Is it me or is this industry becomming full of scammers and time wasters ?

i've heard lots of things about people recieving dodgy offers for domains, but i dont think things like this are just limited to domains, look at ebay there are lots of people there that are trying to rip others off
