Presumably contacting Nominet is the first course of action, as you did with the message. Also lurking in my inbox was the Nominet newsletter No 18 with a story of interest. http://www.nominetnews.org.uk/jul04/data-mining-victory.php?id=3744119&f_access=1&m_id=17 The problem here is authenticating ourselves to the end user, not the other way around. I suspect the problem is made worse by Nominet who still insist on invoicing anything that moves, just adding to the general confusion in the minds of customers as to who is providing their DNS service (and for how much, and for what).
