Purchase Verification from Name Secure

taheny · 10-25-2004, 10:06 AM

A few days ago I registered my 25 free .infos at Name Secure. A few minutes ago I received the following email from verifypurchase@namesecure.com:

Quote:

Thank you for choosing NameSecure as your domain registrar. For your
protection, I would like to verify your 10-22-04 special discount for 25 .info domain name purchase Please verify this purchase is correct by responding to this e-mail as soon as possible.

Best Regards,

NganT

It is probably legitimate but as the email is so simple it seems suspicious to me. It seems the type of thing a scammer would do.

I have not replied yet. Have other people received the same email from Name Secure?

Welcome to NamePros Joe

I've never received that email from them. I just always receive the "Your NameSecure Order is Complete" with a summary of the order. You can verify that it came from NameSecure by checking out the full headers in the email message and make sure someone just didn't type in the email address to make it appear as if it were coming from NameSecure.

Although if you don't send any personal information back in the reply then there should be nothing to worry about.

If you are planning on selling the domains in the future then I'd stay away from NameSecure as their transfer process is a royal pain. I've been waiting for a domain to be pushed to another's account for 6 days now and takes the Customer Support forever to reply back.

Same here, I just got my 25 free .info and I did not get any letter like that

I registered my .info names at the end of Sept. and got no such message. Just ignore it

CUSTOMER SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Following is an important customer service notice courtesy of our NameSecure(R) Professional Service Team.

Dear NameSecure(R) Customer,

We recently learned that many of our customers are receiving domain name renewal notices from companies falsely representing themselves as NameSecure. These notices misinform customers that their domain name registration is due to expire and provides instructions on how to transfer their service and renew.

If you receive renewal notices you do not believe are from NameSecure, or if you have an unauthorized vendor listed on your credit card statement for 'domain name renewal', please contact us immediately at support@namesecure.com.

All courtesy renewal notices you receive from NameSecure will be clearly marked as coming from NameSecure so that you have no question that the communication is legitimate. To protect your domain name registration, we recommend that you do the following:

1. Go to http://www.namesecure.com

2. Log into the My Account area using your username and password

3. Scroll down to the Domain Services Management Center in the My Account area
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=52992

4. Review your list of domain name records and their expiration dates

In addition, the description that will appear on your credit card statement for all NameSecure transactions will clearly identify NameSecure by name.

Thank you for choosing NameSecure, the VALUE leader in domain names registration and related services. We are committed to delivering premium services at the best prices with top quality professional support.

It's not exactly the same message as you got, but I bet it's related.

Thank you all for your helpful replies.

I looked at the email source and the spamassassin gave the email a ranking of 0.1/10 - highly unlikely to be a spam but I think I'll ignore it anyway.

I only used NameSecure as they were still offering the 25 free .info's. - I think I got some good ones but only time will tell!

Anthony · 10-27-2004, 09:15 AM

I'd say that if your names are in your account and you don't hear anything else, then you'll probably be okay.
