Spammer helped me to register domain :D

[copper]

This is first time I appreciate SPAMMER!

It notified me of available domain.
Email said they registered .com version of
the domain I have in .org

I know they didn't register it from previous similar emails.
So, I registered it myself immediately

Here is SPAM email I am talking about...
I removed any domain or link to SPAMMER.
No reason to send them any kind of traffic

Sell it back to them for $199 hehehe

 

[jsu1995]

Yep, I have used those spam e-mails to aquire .com versions of my domains too. Good to see others putting them to good use also. k:

 

[Gerry]

I also get those all the time.

And I too have regged perhaps three over the years in a .com at reg fee.

These idiots have no idea how much I appreciate them letting me know that the .com dropped.

 

[Ridge]

I get these emails as well, but its often for the .net, or .org. I havn't got as lucky as you. Nicely done!

 

[denny007]

Yeah once or twice I regged .com too and thanks them back.
As well as the other spammer who sends this for dropping domains, I also thanked him for reminding me and that I just backordered it on Namejet.

 

[copper]

And I thought I am the only one

 

[Arrogance]

You think I should?
Do they accept IOU :?:

 

[Bender]

oh, yeah, that SPAM should be called "white SPAM " or something, I bought at least 2 domains at reg fee because of them )

 

[dominator]

it happened to me too, at least 3 times

(but they wanted $199, not $99)

I get lots of them email i think the spammer might sell 1 in ever 2000 emails so its ok. what would be funny is the spammed you a name you dont really want and say yes ill take it he regs it and then say no its ok keep it spammer ha ha.

 

[draggar]

I've gotten a few also from spammers like this, offering to "sell" me a domain that is available to register for $100-$500. I've gotten two .com domains this way so far.

 

[chillking]

I think its good because evers name you get spammed is free to register i really good one could pop up one day .
