Another day another scammy email from [email protected]
“I am writing again because I have recently been fortunate enough to acquire a very interesting and historical dominance in the world of domains, belonging to the famous list of most expensive areas in the world, namely dontnology.com, which was sold in 2000 for 2.5 million, but over the years the owners let the domain expire and now I’ve been lucky enough to re-register.
Here are several links to the list of most expensive domains (developed in 2009)

I am contacting you because you are one of the most successful companies to auction my domain, so I wonder if it would be possible to auction it with you and all the details of your commission, selling time etc … I think it’s a historical domain and could be resold for large quantities.
What do think?””
I think the domain did not sell for $2.5 Million in 2000 or in any year.
I think I have never heard of the two sites that logged this domain as being sold in 2000 for $2.5 million/
I checked Estibot.com, DnJournal.com and dnpric.es none of which had any information on the sale of this “extremely valuable domain name, dontnology.com”
According to Esibot.com the domain name dontnology.com has a whopping value of $0
That might be generous.
Why I’m I spending my time writing about this on a Friday afternoon when I should be sipping on an umbrella drink?
Because some of these emails go to people that do not know any better and believe the crap they are handed.
That doesn’t help domain investors, auction and brokerage houses or anyone in the industry.
So as always if you don’t know the domain industry hire someone who does.
At least its now this email, address and domain are indexed in Google.
Good luck
