I have no domains with them.. only directnic.

Maya · 2008-10-30, 11:08 AM

I got one of those too, but the link didn't go to networksolutions.com but to http://www.networksolutions.com.sys42.biz/ ... so I just deleted it as spam .. ?

Apart from the link, "my" email looks just like the one you got.

digifan · 2008-10-30, 11:23 AM

Phew... my link goes to http://www.networksolutions.com.sys44.mobi/ . Also, the detailed header is weird.

digifan · 2008-10-30, 01:13 PM

I don't have too many domains and still, it freaked me out so thanks again.

I've gotten a lot of those emails this week. At first was a series of messages from eNom and then yesterday they started to come from NetSol. All phishing scheme spams.

It is OBVIOSULY a scam. Another way for someone to get your domain info so they can steal it. Just like the paypal email scams, bank of america and the others.

Greenguy · 2008-10-30, 03:48 PM

I just got one from a Doctor's wife in Indonesia

Jarmusch · 2008-10-30, 06:05 PM

Got a couple of those too, good thing I noticed the dot instead of slash in the url even though I was sleepy.
