Balivillashotels.com domain name for sale?

I'm getting an email today offering to buy my domain name Balivillashotels.com, IF I got it appraised. After googled i've found several other people with the same word for word but with different names. So this spam email is definitely a DOMAIN APPRAISAL SCAM, here's the email:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject : Offer to buy your domain name: BALIVILLASHOTELS.COM
