Just like statements of impending suicide, death threats should always be taken very seriously.
A person inquiring about a domain name on Frank Schilling’s Domain Name Sales, did not like the domain owner’s pricing, and threatened him with physical harm:
“Likewise regarding attitude. The default message from the service you’re using/set up to sell your domain recommended a starting offer of nearly $3000. Talk about attitude.
I think domain name squatters should be shot. Hope you burn in hell you fucking leech.
It’s not even that great of a domain name, so go fuck yourself.”
The domain owner reported him to the FBI, providing all the evidence; hopefully the prospective buyer will learn a lesson or two about domain names, and how not to threaten someone.
The exchange via Domain Name Sales is below; we’ve blurred out all the lines that’d identify the seller or the buyer, as the case is now handled by the Feds.
