Hi All,
This particular scam made the rounds about a year ago, but
it seems to have popped up again. Thought you might be
interested.
We got a fax from "Internet Support Group" today listing
one of our domain names but with a different gTLD. The fax
is titled "Urgent Notice of Domain Extension" and looks very
legal and official.
The actual verbiage is very confusing, and makes the recipient
think that they're in danger of losing the name to a
competitor if they don't "consent to third party registration".
Here's a snippet:
Please be advised that the above noted domain name has now
become available for registration. Consequently the possibility
of conflicting domain name registrations may occur.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE UNITED STATES LEGAL CODE
TITLE 15, Sec 1125. False description, and dilution of
Trademarks and the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution (UDRP)
Be advised: Protecting a domain name registrant or trademark
owner from confusing and.ir conflicting domain name
registration is not the responsibility of the domain and
trademark registration process. In the event of a registration
of the adove noted domain by a third party, the UDRP may be
applied under the following conditions...
SUBMIT TO US YOUR CONSENT OR OPPOSITION TO A THIRD PARTY
DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION AND EXPRESSLY ADVISE US OF YOUR
INTENT TO EITHER CONSENT TO AN APPLICATION OR TO LICENSE
THIS DOMAIN NAME PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THIS NOTICE.
Regards,
