Dear Mark ,

NameScout.com is always looking for better ways to serve you. We appreciate your business and are very grateful for it.

To show our appreciation, we are passing along a special registry promotion to our valued customers. We are giving you free, one-year .info domain registrations! And best of all, we have made it extremely quick and easy for you to take advantage of this offer!

Here's how it works:
We have registered available .info domain names corresponding to domain names in your account and placed them in your shopping cart.

To complete the one-year domain registrations, you simply need to log into your account and complete the shopping cart checkout. The domain is yours for one year; without charge or obligation.

The following domain names are ready for your activation:

meterread.info
myledger.info
signupbonus.info
waterbilling.info

To access your shopping cart, login to your account at
http://www.namescout.com.
Your userid is: xxxxxxxx

If you have forgotten your password, click here.

What if I don't want the domain?
If, for whatever reason, you do not want the free domain name, simply remove it from your shopping cart and the domain name will be deleted without charge or obligation.

Please note: Deleting these domains from your shopping cart means that you will have to pay for them if you eventually decide you want the domains and, like all registrations, the domain names may no longer be available when you want them.

Act now
Take advantage of this great opportunity today! This offer is only available for a limited time. You have until November 7th, 2004 to complete your free one-year registration of .info domains. Any unclaimed domains will be removed from your account after that time.

Once again, thank you for your continued support of NameScout.com.

Best regards,

Customer Service,
NameScout.com

Oddly enough, one of these .infos is of a .com that I sold well over a year ago that isn't really in my account.

I suppose this'll give Sipence a run for it's money. Is there no end to this blatant disregard for registrants rights when it comes to these money grubbing registrars...of course this shoiuldn't surprise anyone since Namescout is a sister company to Pool.com.. and what a great reputation they have....what a crock.

Actually I probably have about 60 or more names with them, but most are .info/.biz/.us I picked up on drops at pool. I only was offered the infos of the 4 .coms I have (or used to have) as listed in the original post above. If you have any, they will appear in a box in the top center after logging in.

A lot of ENOM's Resellers were also doing this - Is NameScout an Enom reseller ?
