I just received a transfer request from 1&1 for a domain I recently drop-caught.
I haven't sold the domain, so there's no reason I should receive a transfer request. I figured somebody was trying to scam me. But then I noticed something weird. Here's the relevant part of their email:
"1&1 Internet Ltd. has received a request from 1&1 Internet Inc. on behalf of [some guy's name & address] on 08-Dec-2005 for us to become the new registrar of record."
Isn't it strange that a transfer request from 2005 would be reactivated when the domain gets a new owner? Or does that happen routinely with old transfer requests?
