Names4ever another fraud attempt?

[StockDoctor]

I got many emails today telling me I had renewals due on over 50 names all on 3 1 03 from Names4ever. Problem is that I don't own a number of the names and the ones on the list that I do own, I purchased from other registrars, and they don't come due for renewal until 2004. They also had charged me a couple thousand for pre-registration fees (along with others I'm sure) for submissions in the landrushes, but reports state they never submitted the names.

Here's a copy of one of the emails today. Any attorneys in here want a nice looking classaction? My name isn't David either.
