Can't say I've seen this happening, but I did get a solicitation from Register.com in the mail (US mail, not email) asking me to renew a bunch of my domains with them.
"LIMITED TIME OFFER: Transfer and renew your domain name with Register.com for the low price of $19.95." It listed a half-dozen or so domain names that I own, and had a form to respond and select any that you wanted to transfer. I wonder if this is how the transfers were initiated...

Second - can you send me some examples offlist (in one email) of domains that were attempted without authorization? I'd like to bring this up further; the onus of proof is on register.com, additionally, providing that proof when requested also rests on register.com Thanks.
