Hi all,
Has anyone else had reports about this scam/spam from Verisign?
One of our clients reported receiving this slimey email with the following
headers (nsi-direct.com is owned by Network Solutions, and the email
carried a full blown VeriSign signature at the bottom). The email carried
all the usual click links to quickly mislead the recipient into "renewing"
unnecessarily (and thereby transferring the domain to NSI).
The interesting thing: The domain in question WAS NOT EXPIRED!!! It was
recently renewed, but NOT EXPIRED!!! In fact it had been renewed 7 days
before expiration on 2/7/2007, and was not a VeriSign/NSI domain in the
first place, as falsely stated in opening of the ominous sounding email.
[Chuck or someone from Tucows, I did not want to cross post, would you
please send this to the appropriate interested person in OpenSRS?
Apparently several others have reported receiving this scam from
VeriSign.]
