Don't you love it when somebody blithely sends in a transfer request
for a domain they don't own, hoping to steal it away?  We got one
of these today.  (Since we have had the domain for over 15 years,
one would think the perpetrator-to-be could tell we probably want
to keep it still.)

Way back when (in the before-time, in the long-long-ago), you'd get a
copy of the email sent by the requestor, and you could just call them
up and find out what they were thinking.  Is there any way to find
this out these days?  (This particular request came via NSI).  Failing
that, is there a place to report this abuse so that something of
consequence will happen to the outfit facilitating this transfer
attempt?  In this case the attempt is being made on behalf of some
mortage company.  I doubt they initiated this themselves, but probably
went to an ISP or registrar or somebody who should know better and
made the attempt anyway.  I would think it would be to everyone's
benefit if that agent were (at least) told not to do that kind of
thing.

(I did send off a complaint to NSI to see if they could do something.)
