We all have our own barrow to push,

A customer of ours let sunniskymini.com domain expire, it was grabbed on the 
drop by someone (who has an identity shield in place) and below is the 
extortion letter I received today <smile>

sunniskymini.com is a 'made up name', has no worth to anyone except the 
original registrant.

<snip>
The domain sunniskymini.com is using our Domain Name Contact Services at 
Alternative Identity. We have contacted the owners and apprised them of your 
interest. They have agreed to sell you the domain name sunniskymini.com for 
US$250. There will be an escrow service fee of US$30 that must be applied to 
the final price of the domain name. Total price of the domain name will be 
US$280. If this is an acceptable price, please send wire, money order or 
certified or cashiers check (international checks please add an additional 
US$50 processing fee), which must be made payable to Alternative Identity,

I do believe that if people wish to lobby AUDA into an after market system, 
all the common 'known' scams should be addressed. I personally have a few 
hundred domains in several domain spaces, I dont mind selling them, 
developing them etc, so love the idea of of an open market, on the other 
hand I also do a lot of support for people so get grief occasionally from 
the like of DNA, Chelsea and the likes of the above cons ...

I dont think it would be too hard to come up with something that at least 
covers the obvious.
