<EDIT I MEAN 4HOURHOSTING.COM>

But it isn't spam, at least not according to them :rolleyes:

Got some spam the other day from some totally unknown guy trying to sell me the .com of a .org I own for $7000. What was the first line of the email you're asking? Yep: 'This is not spam'...

I sent him a nice email back saying 'this IS spam, contact me again and I'll contact the relevant authorities'. I HATE spam. Spammers must DIE !!!

And who would pay $7000 for a domain anyway, especially on a student's budget :D

LOL:stickout

I hate it when people say 'this is not spam' it is spam, i have never visited thier site nor gave them my e-mail address:rolleyes:

Well Tazz, I wouldn't consider that spam. You own a version of the domain he owns and he was asking you if you wanted to buy it. He's wasn't sending that message to 1,000 people.

Anyway, he was hoping you'd be willing to part with $7,000 heh... maybe he should have said $100 and he'd have a sale?

please chicken change the subject to SPAM from 4hourhosting.com

Maybe if he'd asked for $50 I wouldn't have called it spam, but for $7000, it's spam :D

At least he hasn't bothered me since, I must have frightened him away :)
