Is this spam?

**MAllie** · 10-01-2009, 12:28 PM

I've just received this, unlike any of the other spam emails I've received before in connection with my domain names. Is this something that should concern me or is it just another form of spam? I have boysingreen.com, net & info & all four with 'the' before it. 'Boys in Green' is how the Irish football team is referred to, and I'm making a mini-site for one of the names soon.

I think they are just trying to get you to buy them in all those extensions as well. I received a similar email but put them on my spam list. I also get A LOT of letters like this in the mail, I just toss them.

Thanks, guys. That's brilliant. I must admit it's the first time I've come across this and I must have missed the relevant threads on the forum, but I had an inkling it was some sort of spam scam.
