Message: Dear sir.....I currently register a domain name i think you will be very interested in. The domain is MP3Cars.com. I am looking to sell it . I also own a few others, Mp3CarSystems and CarMp3s.com If interested make me an offer and i will contact you. Sidenote: Mp3Cars.com expires soon. Most likely i will renew it. If I do not, the name could be on backorder for someone else to take as i\'ve had several offers. If you are interested I recommend getting in touch with me soon. PS I think your FrodoPlayer is excellent. Charles

Damn domain squatters.

Maybe he'll sell it to you for a free copy of the (very rare) FP 1.05.

How much do you think I can get for my authentic numbered edition (3rd Download) of the rare 1.05 edition?

email the guy back and inform him that he has violated the anti-cybersquatting laws by purchasing a name very similar to the one here and attempting to sell it at a profit.

btw, if he's "had several offers" on it, why is he spamming you?

I thought about it, but it's probably just some kid. But if Zip-Lock wants the e-mail addy to warn him...it's available

I didn’t get it but I still feel really honored that someone would try and squat the domain.

Seriously though someone needs to tell this guy that domain squatting was so 1990’s…..

ICANN’s dispute resolutions policy would take care of this quickly, but it would cost about $1500. Mp3Car is trademarked so it would be easy to win.

But I don’t care

We’ll let this guy has his fun.

He’s probably a member of this board, if has have the IP address the email originated from I’ll see what his username is.
