If you're sick of getting spam from partial matches of your owned domains, here's a fresh list of such scum mass emailers.
They are all hosted on the IP 66.248.200.235 and most of them were created in the second half of 2013.

actdomains.com
bestdomains.us
checkmarkdomains.com
domainshield.us
finedomains.us
goaldomains.com
safedomains.us
valudomains.com

These operate by the same owners as defendnames.com, palacedomains.com and belldomains.com

Sample spam email:

We have great news! The domain name [...].com is now being offered by our company.

[...]

We will provide you with full access and ownership of the domain name.

If you have any questions, please send us a email. Customer service is our top priority!

Sincerely,
Craig Templeton
3555 Havanna Street
Shoals, NC 27030

We can now add member James Booth to this list. Just got an email:

I am contacting your organization with regards to a premium domain name that would be perfect for your company.

We are currently selling these domain names on behalf of one of our biggest clients :

They have decided to release these domain from there portfolio.

{14 names listed}

These domain names would be a great asset to your company as it would increase your global traffic and awareness and would also involve you owning some premium domains.

By owning any of these names you would be able to forward all the traffic the names get and forward to your current site. You would also own these premium .com domain names.

If your organization would be interested in acquiring these domains then please get in touch either via email or phone with an offer.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,

James Booth

Once again, as I mentioned in another post - it is hard to take someone as a serious business or business person with a Hotmail, gmail, or yahoo email address...

email was sent from a hotmail.co.uk address.

Oh...and how about adding the use of proper spelling and grammar, such as their instead of there.

New spammer: youboughtadomain.com

These aholes scan the zone files and send this email:

You bought a domain, now what?

Most domains are either sold, parked, or developed. What is the right choice for [removed]? Only you can decide. The resources at http://youboughtadomain.com will help you make an informed decision regarding your new domain.

If you have any specific questions you may message me on kik at "nowwhathelp".

You are receiving this email from the author of an ever growing informative and free help guide to new domainers called "Now What?"

Welcome to the domainer's society,
Danielle Menay Smith

Gerry,

I would like to make a formal apology to you.

I have been using Estibots lead generator and sending some emails out to potential end users.

I am very sorry that some emails have come through to yourself.

I will be extremely careful when sending emails to potential end users in the future.

I am sorry if I have offended you in any way or offended anyone else.

Regards,

James

I appreciate the apology.

I also appreciate you wanting to increase sales.

Here are a couple of suggestions...

Rather than send a list of 14 names to a potential client, select the BEST example you have matching their interests. Send a long list looks like spam, is spam, but also makes it look like desperation.

Use proper and correct English and grammar. You were inferring their but spelled it there.

QUIT USING FREE EMAIL SERVICES! You want to represent yourself as a legitimate business entity yet you use Hotmail.co.uk. Dump the free services like hotmail, gmail, yahoo mail etc. Develop and use a unique identifier. My goodness, you are trying to sell domains but don't use a unique name to represent yourself or business.

QUIT USING TWO EMAILS! Keeping with above, you use the free hotmail account to send the email but then ask the respondent to contact you at another email address. This is typically how heavy spammers and scammers run their spoofs. Using two email addresses is going to confuse the receiver of the message and typically is viewed as a scam or spam.

Up your professionalism, look like a legitimate business, send only your best, and separate yourself from all the similar spammers.

I need to contact someone about this.

Computer/email times out before it can even get started.

What am I doing with over 4 billion emails? Did I get an email for every adult person on the planet?

Add a new one to the list:

Since you own XXXXXX.com, maybe you'd be interested to learn that AppDevelopers.net is selling in a public auction at the moment. AppDevelopers.net redirects to the auction listing, which contains additional information.

If this courtesy message is unwelcome, I apologize. You are not part of any mailing list. In fact, your information has already been deleted from our records. The goal of this one-time email is to give people who already own app-related domains a fair chance to participate in the auction, if they so desire.

Thanks for your time,
Michael Rollins

Domain is owned by a one Joseph Peterson of Seattle, WA sent about a dozen random emails yesterday, and has been for past few days, either using a fake name, or employing a newbie broker who feels spamming is the only way to unload a .net portfolio, not cool, and needless to say unwarranted. Failed to adhere to canspam act as well.

There are exceptions to his statement. Despite having an email account pays, I use an e-mail on my godaddy account, and I am serious.

Can you back that up with evidence? I'm skeptical that Michael sent you more than one email. Please forward the "dozen random emails" to me. Otherwise, I assume your allegations are false.

You damn well know what your doing when you send out thousands of emails, and do not adhere to canspam policy. I received a dozen emails trying to se me the domain appdevelopers.net, otherwise I wouldn't waste my time posting it here. Everyone who owns an app domain probably got that damn email, you should really not waste your time email domainer a with fresh reg .net domains on a mass email level, not appreciated. You know what you did was not right. No reason to lie, clean up your act please, or monitor your employees better.

Forward me emails. Anything else is easy to fabricate.

If Michael sent you a dozen emails, then I won't be working with him anymore. But I know his process limits emails to one per person because I reviewed it meticulously before agreeing to let him promote any of my domains.
