    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 ?

    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.

    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.

    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.
