Recently, I have received several transfer requests from parties unknown trying to get me to authorize a transfer of different domains to another account. Is this normal? Do you folks get a lot fo these?

Should I be concerned, or just lock down the domain and forget about it?

It means you must have some good domain names. :)

It happens, especially when the previous owner of a domain just realized he forgot to pay the renewal fee, and the domain dropped. Don't worry about it.

The only ones I get are mine, worst luck! ;)

But as MarkMitford said - lock your domains asap.
