SCAM ALERT: Go Daddy Domain Brokers

So there's this new service going around called "domain broker" , you go to the page and the website says it may be for sale if you use their domain broker service.

People make you an offer to buy your domain from godaddy.com then they send you to an auction page, then when you click on the link it doesn't work and they want you to call them.

Then they have all these videos posted on youtube for their broker service and when you try to make someone an offer to buy their domain they start charging you to contact the domain owner.

Then when you are the domain owner they start writing you asking you if you want to sell the page, if you say you are interested in the offer they start trying to tell you the site you're selling isn't worth anything and then get this....

They want 20% of the sale from the seller through Escrow for sales over $5000, then they want you to wait 20 days to get the money.

So they charge the bidder money to make an offer then if you talk to them they want 20% for accepting the bid.

Like they want a thousand dollars from both parties for a $5000 domain sale leaving you with nothing for viewing the bid, scam.

-END-
