So this is quite interesting. I got an email from something called domainsupgraded.com (not linked) indicating that I can buy jaredrimer.com for $100. That seems reasonable, but I decided to see if namecheap showed it available.
How can a company give me a domain that is available? I just baught jaredrimer.com for a year at $11.48 for the first year.
Here is the email I received just this afternoon.
We are selling the domain jaredrimer.com. Since you already own jaredrimer.us if you would like the more popular version we are making it available to you.
The one time cost is just $100. We transfer the domain to you first and payment is due after you verify ownership.
If you are interested, let us know and someone will follow up as soon as possible.
We respect your privacy. Unless you respond we will not contact you again.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Its nice for you to contact me, but you don’t have jaredrimer.com as indicated above. I’ve been trying to buy it since I lost the domain many years ago, I just don’t know what to do with it at the moment. I may point it somewhere but I haven’t figured it out quite yet.
Good luck selling it, its mine.
