If you own a random four letter .com domain, chances are that you have been contacted at least a dozen times by domain spammers.
Those unscrupulous individuals email every permutation domain’s owner – from AAAA to ZZZZ – placing lowball offers, regardless of letter quality.
The proliferation of mass email spam to domain owners has been fed by increased capital availability in China, where LLLL domains are being flipped like penny stocks.
We reached out to one of the most prolific Chinese domain spammers, who goes by the nickname HunJoo888.

HunJoo888: Friend Kung show money make in 2013 stock, say why domain different? I start 2014, early.
DomainGang: How many spam emails are you sending out to LLLL .com domain owners every day?
HunJoo888: First careful and one email, now send 456976 email every two day. All combo.
DomainGang: So every two days, you email the entire LLLL .com set?
HunJoo888: Yes. Ha! Fast, easy.
DomainGang: How much do you offer to the owners of LLLL .com domains per domain name?

HunJoo888: Good domain letter is W,E,R,T,U,I,O,P,A,S,D,F,G,H,K,L,C,B,N,M for domain price.
DomainGang: Aren’t the Chinese more fond of Q,X,Z,J ?
HunJoo888: Yes but no. QXZJ letter only money China, sell Americans other letter. Flip, understand?
DomainGang: So you flip the QXZJ letter domains to other Chinese investors and save the other, better ones for Western domain investors?

DomainGang: But spamming domain owners constantly will get you banned. Aren’t you concerned?
HunJoo888: Who care ban, I make new QQ email, add proxy and start email loop.
DomainGang: So why do you do it?
HunJoo888: For good money. Pay bill, eat, go movies, buy smart phone for wife. Bye!
DomainGang: Bye bye, HunJoo888. Thank you for the interview, but you’re still a fucking spammer.
At least he’s stayed away from the numerics
I don’t get it – half the time i respond and say yes to the offer they make, and then they never respond again! I even will add the response in chinese. Such a waste of time
Learned a long time ago that anything .qq gets sent to spam folders. They’re never going to give me the price I want so even if its a legit 1/2 of 1% domain inquiry, its not a loss. Havent been happier since banning any .qq emails
