I own three similiar domains:
www.thereddragondsden.com
www.reddragonsden.com
www.the-red-dragons-den.com
Today I got an email with the subject line:
"Attention Scott Marchek Please note that this is your Final Notice of Domain Extension"
from "support@domain-updates.us" (whom I have never heard of before) sounding all official and spiffy
There is no link to a web site in the email~ but there is the address to this place
http://www.domain-updates.us/
~ I *think* the email is informing me that the domain name
www.REDDRAGONSDEN.us
is available for sale~ and to be
"Please be advised that the above noted domain name has now become available for registration.
Consequently the possibility of a conflicting domain registration may occur"
Then there is a BUNCH of confusing small print that looks like legalsleeze to me~
and a phone number and tracking number I am to call~
(I'd post the email contents entirely to get opinions but it actually has a disclaimer on the bottom that says "The information in this letter contains confidential and/or legally privileged information from the notification processing department of the DNC. This information is intended only for the use of the individual(s) named above." and I'm not entirely positive this is some scam I should just blow off their little legalsleeze talk)
I'm betting they will ask for my credit card number to secure this domain name and protect my interest if I call them~ as it makes a big deal about all the nasty legal issues that could arrize by allowing someone else to buy that domain name...........
What the ...........????????
Final notice from someone I never heard of?
I want to ignore it~
I certainly do not want to call that phone number
I wouldn't mind owning the domain name they are discussing but I don't want it bad enough to give my credit card information to just any idiot who can do a "whois" search on my current registrations and email me vague and confusing legalsleeze talk.
Any input?
Anyone else ever heard of any such thing?
