I’ve been getting these emails by the dozens lately. A new spam/scam type is out: partnership proposal emails. I’m still not sure what they want as they never seem to answer when you reply back, but here are some of the emails:

Hello,

I just came across your website - wcasinos.net and I want to ask if I can sponsor a text link on your website.

Please e-mail me back and I will send you additional information.

Best Regards,

I got like 5 messages for my various sites asking for phone number with interest to purchase the website. However the emails looked unprofessional so it’s quite clear this is not a real inquiry.

Update: I got many reports from others who received same messages and I could only speculate but they never reply, so I’m thinking they are just collecting phone numbers and sites. What for? Maybe to offer some hosting or other products, or spam you with some related offers. Maybe for some sophisticated scamming attempts..

There is a dnf thread about this. Anyone knows what they want?

I got about 8-10 emails from this person for different domains over the last couple months. I replied to a few asking to stop bothering me because I dont sell my domains cheap, but it clearly didn’t help.

I noticed that you are the owner of pirh.com. I am currently looking to buy these type of domains and am willing to offer you $200 US if you wish to sell. I can provide an instant, hassle free payment through PayPal.

If you have any questions or wish to proceed with this sale please feel free to contact me at any time.
