New SPAM problems, free .info domain owners targeted

[GT Web]

I just recieved 2 spam emails regarding .info domains I just registered. One of them looks like this:


Hi,

I was doing some domain searches and I saw you JUST registered albertpujols.info?

I thought I would take a chance to ask you - are you interested in making money online?

If I could show you a really easy way to build a long term monthly residual income online using albertpujols.info with a revolutionary company, would you be interested? (it costs nothing to get going)

The company is Inc500 listed and has customers in 200+ countries - they are very solid and are one of the fastest growing companies in the world.

Anyways, I just saw your domain and thought I might ask you.

Take care,
Sherri


I know this is SPAM because Albert Pujols is a baseball player and not something associated with residual income.

Have any of you been getting crap like this? Is it a domainsite.com thing or a new .info thing? I have never gotten spam like this before and now 2 days after I picked up my free .info domain it starts

I got the same spam email, but with abusiveelusive.info

None of the other domains. Seems they are hitting the "a"s today. Maybe the "b"s tomorrow?

maybe, I got one of those DomainBuyer scam emails about a different .info I registered...

 

[Steen]

Maybe Affilias is supporting this sale via upsells?

lol

does few more spams actually affect anything? I'm programmed to ignore them now.

I could care less if they spammed me. I'll take the free domains over any spams anyday.

I've also registered several .com's at NameCheap. Shortly after registration, approx. 2 days, I started recieving spam email to the dnsadmin@* email account I setup for this domain. The domain wasn't even associated with a website yet.

 

[Mr Webname]

Did you post the names here in the thread asking which names you had reg'd?

 

[GT Web]

yes, but that still means the spammer needed to go through whois to get my email

 

[diederik]

Received the message aswell (regarding one of my new .info regs)

I registered 3 domains at once with GoDaddy.com a while back. This was when the .coms were only 7.95. I checked my voice mail, and I get this message about some design/hosting company. I called them back to see exactly who they were. I asked how they got my number. They said they "saw" me register a domain and wanted to ask me if I wanted to buy hosting or web design. I asked which domain they "saw" me register. They said "wait, you registered more than one?". I hung up from there. I mean I thought the spam emails were enough, but when they start calling you? Ugh, anyone else have the same experience?
