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 :D

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 ;)

We noticed the you own xxxxxx.ORG and felt that you may be
interested in acquiring the .COM version of your existing domain name.

It is available for a one-time fee of only $99.00 USD.

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.

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.

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. :)
