    What scam is this ? Someone creating new Moniker accounts with Enom data

    On friday 6.2. 2009 I got automated emails from Moniker about two new Moniker accounts has been created. These two accounts used names, addresses and emails IDENTICAL with credentials I use at my two Enom accounts. One larger domainer confirmed me same happened to him. I asked Moniker - they know nothing about it (originally I thought Moniker is preparing to sell on Namejet).

    Anyone else got same happened to him ? What scam it might be ?

    Thanks for the heads-up. Definitely they're up to no good.

    Some kind of identity theft scheme, perhaps, where people pretend to be you to buy domains, scam the seller, and tarnish your name instead of their own.

    Well one of the accounts were for Mr. "Deleting Domain" from Zimbabwe...my Enom rubbish bin...so either those scammers are retarded or this is not it...

    I was just unable to log into my moniker account and later had to confirm via email my log-in details.

    Last week NameDrive got hit.

    Something does appear to be going on at Moniker.

    it is possible to have anyone create an account in anyone's name if they have the info.

    Denny, we have canceled the accounts and disabled them.

    I know about one more person who got this happened, I am looking for more. The point here is to try to figure out what is this all about. It's a mystery.
