Wow, they were actually stupid enough to register that domain at Enom itself.

http://whois.domaintools.com/en0mcentral.com

Registered with privacy...I guess to make it look more "official."

Anyone know how to report this to Enom? I'm sure they'd suspend the domain immediately.

The site doesn't exist anymore, looks like someone took it down.

Thanks for the heads up - using private whois was a really clever idea. Someone who is not frequent with enom would have fell for this one....

Hmm, I wonder if they really were. Or were they just milking it as long as they
could until it would eventually get shut down?

That was a good phish if people especially didn't notice the 0 part. But good
to know it's down and out.

I got the same with linking to enomcemtral.com. I didn't catch it at first, but my anti-phishing software warned me before the page loaded. There I don't know if it's active or looks like the enom page or not since it won't let me load to even see. Since enom.com is now only for resellers and enomcentral is for retail accounts, they are probably trying to trick the end users who know less. It would be an easy miss thought, so be careful about links and typos.

That is what tipped me off, I login to my accounts at enom.com. I did use a site preview tool in FF, it looks just like enom's site.

It is always a good idea to never use the links provided in e-mails of this nature. Instead, it is better to open a new tab or window and navigate to the site on your own. This phishing scams are just getting to sophisticated and harder to spot these days. Unfortunately, there is always going to be someone who falls for this type of thing. Just don't let it be you!
