thanks -- I got the same email, only I was being asked for just $30 for the domain. IAfter reading the accounts above, I checked, and could buy the domain through my usual account and got it for $7.97!

I got the "do you want to sell your domain name" message too. Of course, I've gotten these types of emails from real people actually interested in a name, and sometimes they actually buy, but the domain he was asking about expired 7 months ago -- I don't own it anymore.

Very glad I'm not alone! Mr Birwell can have my domain for 10 million and I'll share it with you all :-)
glad I googled his name. Although it makes a nice change not to get an email trying to sell me pills to improve my........... ;-)
best wishes
Tim

I just got the same email from Mr. Birdwell. Thank you so much for posting this. Much like most of you, I was skeptical, but I could use the extra money :)

Take Care

I received the same email last week from Brandon Birdwell wanting to buy one of my domain names. I've received emails out of the blue like this in the past. I actually did sell one a couple of years ago for $750 that started out much like this. I always reply back and tell them to make me an offer. Most of course never respond back and a few expect you to sell a good domain for practically nothing.

Anyway, I replied to My. Birdwell's email last Wednesday and asked him to make me an offer. Well I received his reply this morning and all it said was "200,000?".

At first I thought, "It's party time!!!". But then I thought to myself, this can't be legitimate. So I started searching around the web to see what I could find out about this Mr. Birdwell and stumbled upon this site. I guess it was too good to be true. Be careful out there.

Regards,
Barry Reeves

HI,
Just received the same email. This guy is busy! Somebody please inform gmail to shut down his account. Sounds like a Nigerian scam...

His email is brandon.birdwell9@gmail.com -
Care to drop a little note to this con-man?
