Richard Dynas came across a for sale post on Reddit for the domain name Plant.com.
The domain name is owned by Reflex Publishing and is not for sale. When Richard pointed this out the thread starter posted that they were brokering the name for an elderly friend.
WRONG!
Richard got a reply from Reflex in which they said:
Hi Richard,
Thanks for the heads-up. I can confirm that plant.com is not for sale and that the post you reference was not placed or authorized by our company, Reflex Publishing, Inc. We do not have a Reddit account, but you are welcome to post this reply if you wish.
Best regards,
David Riordan
Reflex Publishing, Inc.
Mixed script idn?
BROKERS ARE SCAMMERS!!! Including the scammer that auction names on January in the Annual Vegas Event…
off topic but i noticed vsb.com was renewed..thought godaddy didn’t allow that anymore but i guess it depends who owns the domain!
I think they just got in under the 30 days cmac.
Who even cares about the r/DomainNames sub on Reddit anyway? It’s got 355 subscribers. r/Domains is the bigger one that’s actually moderated by people.
‘Seller’ listed Plants.com again on Reddit just few hours ago:
