DNF$: 433 Location: New York | Emails from NameDrive to Buy Portfolios Did anybody else get random spam emails from NameDrive, specifically from their Director of Sales? At first I thought it was because I was a member (with 0 domains parked). Then I noticed another one of my emails got the same exact spam mail a few weeks later. Anybody else receive these emails? I respect NameDrive to the fullest, but this is a bit of a concern for me. |

DNF$: 433 Location: New York | Thanks Ervin for your response. Anybody else? The email is titled "your domain portfolio". Body message of email is: Quote:
Not accusing or pointing fingers, but some clarification straight from Namedrive team would be nice, as it is a very weird coincidence if one. One of these emails I NEVER used anywhere except WHOIS. So it is in no newsletters, subscriptions, or anything like that. | |

DNF$: 433 Location: New York | I've spoken to Simon when I first got the email. I told him I had no portfolio and I was Bodis owner. He just greeted me and said that we should meet up one day at a conference. Nothing wrong there. But then, a few weeks later I check my other email accounts, which are on the WHOIS of Bodis domains, and they all got the same spam email! Today I saw another parking company SUPPOSEDLY do it to another competitor ACCORDING to a member. I have no confirmation there, but this lit up a light bulb with my situation - that NameDrive was perhaps targetting Bodis domains via SPAM because they thought our members could have been an easy switch or sale to their parking service. I confronted Simon with no response so far. I would take this privately first but I didn't get a response so forum is my next best option. Anyway, I am not accusing NameDrive. But, it is a very odd coincidence, and I would like some clarification straight on this forum. I am not a fan of spam. And ofcoarse, I do not like it when all Bodis resolving domains get emails from my competitor. It is very uncomfortable...The thought is uncomfortable...

DNF$: 433 Location: New York | Kate, but you are a member of Bodis.com and in March you had at least 1 domain pointing to Bodis nameservers. You see what I am saying? |

Country: | Hmmm I would say it's just because we hold a portfolio of parked domains. As stated above they also used the whois for domains at Moniker.

DNF$: 950 Location: Everywhere | Hey ShytKicker, I believe Simon has cleared this up with you in person and things seem to have been resolved. I can guarantee you that it was a genuine offer for portfolio brokerage, was sent in person by Simon and was in no way targeted just as Bodis customers. Ed
