Today, someone created a registrant with a domain I own. and they added an Inc. at the end of the
Registrant. Then, they started a Registrant transfer to steal the domain. ..When I received the Registrant transfer notice, I logged into my Cira account, I saw who was trying to steal my domain. Of course, I rejected it.
For example, they created a rant that said.....QueenMother.ca Inc. to try to steal QueenMother.ca It looked pretty legit to my Registrar, My very, very dependable and Reliable registrar asked them if I was a willing participant and they replied "yes", so the Registrar went ahead and initiated the transfer. It seems, that there has been a rash of fraudulent Transfer requests lately. My Registrar has offered to put in one more approval for my account, before any more Domain transfers are started.I wonder what CIRA would do if I transferred it away in error, as I often approve bulk transfers.....probably not much...So, a heads up out there....qm
