I'm amazed the warning did not come from the United States Federal Police. The Australians do have whopping great egos, I know because I am one. You thought Red Blooded Americans were uptight. If this were a .com.au suffix I could see a problem. From personal experience, delete this Domain Name and pretend you never reged it.

Regards

You don't want to mess with the Government, especially with the Police. Do you?

Of all things to put on that domain as a website, the registrant places a half naked model on the front page lol.

Did you register FedPolice.com or australianfederalpolice.com?

They are complaining about the second. If that's not your domain, tell them.


If you are in Australia I'd be concerned. Other countries, less so.
