Thanks for this! Saved me from this scam today. The thing is the domain name and email checked out. I don’t know if it’s someone in a legitimate company that has gone off the rails or what!
I got them too. Almost the same email wording but from Norway. I asked GoDaddy if they were legit and GoDaddy said yes, the email came through them and was "legit."
Hi mate, on my case I almost have the same format but the difference is they emailed me thru godaddy, they want to do it over escrow.com, asking me for certificates etc. Is this still a scam?
i had received same email today, Thanks for saving me from scam
ommggg i just received the exactly same email 🙁
was too good to be true.
Just happened to me. They copy Godaddy’s email template. Lucky I double check.
They said they are an agent from galcomm-il.co
After denying that , I will not pay for certificate , they are still hoping for the same : LOL 🙂
see below :
Thanks Ashutosh
I contacted Godaddy. They said they don’t verify legal restrictions for the buyer’s country. They will contact you and send a link to the partner’s site where you can order.
Follow their instructions and get the certificate. Then send to me and the buyer will pay you the same day. How do you prefer to get paid: wire, Paypal or Bitcoin/Ethereum?
This just happened to me!
This looks like it just happened to me. They have an actual website this time.
Thank you bro !! Dodged a scam bullet there.

Hello!
Thank you for responding! We could not contact you earlier because GoDaddy verifies the legitimacy of every offer/bid on their domains. Finally, we’ve passed their verification )
My name is Elisa Guzman. I work as a broker of International clients in a hosting company – Vangus Co. from Israel. I will help you to finish the sale.
I am reaching out to you on behalf of a buyer from Tel Aviv. Your buyer is a company from Israel. Your domain will be used to generate traffic to their new mutli-million dollar web project so they offer a good price. Commission of our company is 6%. It’s paid when you get the money.
They will pay you via the Escrow.com or Swiss Escrow service. You can be paid via wire, Paypal, check or any other method you prefer.
The buyer offers $60,000 usd.
Do you have a certificate? It’s required by their bank.
The final sale price will depend on the certificate ($60,000 minimum – if it comes higher they will pay more).
If you don’t have the certificate it’s not a problem. You can order it online.
Please note he cannot accept it from any agency. He needs a manual service. It also must be a third party independent agency (not your broker our auction site) and must be accepted by his bank.
The certification includes the following:
1. Independent valuation of the market price. It will show your domain name is not overpriced. On the other hand if the valuation comes higher, he will increase the price accordingly. In the domain name industry, there are many appraisal tools that people use to estimate the value of a domain name. My client does not want to risk and doesn’t accept services that use scripts. If you are unsure about some service feel free to ask me.
2. TM and law compliance verification. It proves your domain has no trademark problems. He would like this verification to be included in the appraisal report. It’s not a problem because some companies include the TM verification for free.
3. Copy in Hebrew.
The process is very easy:
1. Go to the certificate agency site and order a certificate. Just submit your domains and let them know you have a buyer with $XX,XXX offer. It will help you to get a better valuation.
If your domain is worth at least $10000, they will send you the payment instructions. If it’s not possible, they won’t send you the instructions. This way you will not lose anything. It’s very convenient and gives you the full protection. Other services charge you upfront even if your domain is not worth spending the appraisal fee, so I don’t recommend them.
2. Send the certificate to me and we will start the sale process. As soon as the buyer receives your certificate they will buy your domain.
If you are new to the certification process, I can help you with the step by step instructions.
