We always have a few bait domains that we only renew for one year and wait
until the last minute to renew to see what kind of renewal spam/scams we
receive.
Attached is yesterday's bite. Why am I not surprised that the registrar
for ideacommune.com and dnrenew.com is ENOM?
And just out of curiosity, has anyone had customers fall for any of these
*e-mailed* spam scam renewal notices? Just wondering how many average
domain registrants are willing to do business with spammers...
