That's why it's always WISE to do lots and lots of investigating on anyone who is asking to buy your domain. You need to know who they are for a variety of reasons: Are they trying to nail you with cybersquatting charges? Are you going to let this domain go for too cheap because you didn't know the buyer is coming out with a product that your domain describes? Are they even testing to see that the whois email address is being answered, and if not, if they submit transfer requests what's the chance the request will be denied by the owner as false? Great points. Always remain vigilant on your domains. *****SD*****

I've had several possible reverse hijacking attempts on brandable dictionary domains. They usually seem to contain phrases like......'we are interested in acquiring your domain name......what would be a reasonable amount to pay?.....' I doubt that most domainers would recognize a reverse hijack attempt or have any idea of how best to respond to offers from a trademark holder or someone with common-law rights. On the other hand, I think many domainers can sometimes be too careful and treat every offer like a hijack and thus send out the wrong signals to potential buyers. Nice article, thanks Stephen.
