Another day another scammy email from faustinorejopalomo@gmail.com
“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
TROLOLOL
Estibot estemates it at $0
*estimates
“That might be generous” I literally laughed out loud.
The worse part is this is how domain sales info/lists get tainted and grabbed by someone else who stumbled on the fake list site.
They then grab their tainted list and post it on their site since they wont do due dilligence or fact checking to see if it were true.
Then it repeats over and over with many sites now listing false info.
you have to congrats the scammer for another way to scam the market. that’s a nice idea creating fake sites with fake historical information.
tha scammer seems to be from Spain. both sites reference another spanish guy named “Carlos Blanco” as the source of the tainted information:

Hello, I am the owner of this domain, and the person who sent those emails. First of all let me say I am very upset because my email is put publicly, violating the rights of data protection, as I do not intend to cheat anyone, I just read that information about a past sale of the domain and therefore I have registered, as stated jose, I read many pages and also on this page http://carlosblanco.com/2009/03/17/ranking-dominios-mas-caros-de-la-historia/ Spanish
I do not intend to cheat anyone, I just registered a domain thought that was valuable, but apparently I also have been deceived.
I try to live life without legally cheat anyone.
I pray my email please publish this product is removed.
Thank you.
Now my personal email and the news is in all domains and pages domainers, swindler and accusing me of hurting my family. Please pray publishes an apology, thinking that this domain was valuable and thought the news of these websites, pretended not to mislead anyone.
Please pray the news is eliminated and an apology be published towards me.
Thank you
Listen you sent out emails to people that don’t know you and didn’t ask to receive the emails.
it’s called spam and it is not entitled to any “privacy protections”
The email contained false information regarding a sale that was never reported.
You set up false links to support the domain haven’t been sold for an amount it was not
Your going to have to live with the consequences
I repeat, I am not any scammer, just I found 3 different sites of Spain which reported those sales, information that appeared to be erroneous, but I knew it was false information, it is an absolute misunderstanding, I have nothing to do with these sites announcing the sale are 3 separate pages and domains domainers Spain:

Of course, anyone who had read that this domain had sold 2.5 million and was now free also would have registered.
The emails are not spam, I just wanted to give promotion to the domain because I thought the information about the sale in 2000 was true. Thankfully, a good friend and broker has confirmed that the list is false and that the domain was not sold for that amount, so of course not coming back to try to sell the domain.
So please, I beg you not to call me scammer, just wanted to sell a domain because I thought that was valuable, it is unfair that my email now appears on all pages of domainers as scam, it is very unfair …
Even able to test that I am no scammer, now I’m going to ask my registrar (dondominio.com) to proceed promptly to the cancellation of the domain to be free again in 77 days, as required by regulation for domains. com, I do not go through life fooling anyone nor intend to sell something that has no value.
