Be careful. I think they are trying to "HiJack" domains as well. If you reply to them, they obtain header info on your account. This way, they can "clone" you and request domain transfers and who knows what else. Never reply to these scams. A Variation: From: “Dr Mosh” To: xxxxxxxx Hello, I am interested in purchasing your web site XXXXX.com If you would like to sell it send me your phone number to call you. A cell phone number would be ideal since I can text you my business proposal. I am open to co-partnership or maybe you want to rent/lease your domain. Email me from the account that owns the domain to prove you are the real owner. Send me your paypal address as well and I will advance you $500 US to prove my proposal. Thank you Albert P.

I did email two back stating that I did not want to give out my number but would consider offers. I have heard nothing back and didn't expect to but am not sure what they are up to.

I googled the text to see if it was real and found your blog. Mine was from "Lucetta Cross" with an email of info at mountwild dot it. It showed up in my Gmail spam box, so people must be catching on that there's something funny going on here. I just got the exact same email.
