Mark,
Since you were a Register.com reseller at one point, is it not possible
that this is simply a case of outdated information in their database, and
they're sending the same standard renewal reminder that they send to all
of their resellers' customers, exactly like OpenSRS sends reminders to our
customers on our behalf? The text of their email certainly suggests this.
Has the domain in question actually been moved to another registrar, or
it still with Register.com?

Seems to me that US mega corps only wanna pick on folks they know will sue in US courts. If I were you, I would think about starting a $120 UK limited company and do all your legal stuff here. Lot cheaper and more scary for a big corp. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Mark Petersen > To: discuss-list@opensrs.org > Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 4:48 AM > Subject: More Renewal Scams > > > Hi All, > FYI, I've posted a couple more renewal scam emails that were sent out by RCOM. > These are really pushing the ethics envelope.
