can do so by leaving an offer here:

f***.net

is being released form the registry and will be put on sale in the next few days.
Being that you own a similar name, we thought you might want to make a reservation on it:

omegaacquisitions.com/info/****

Then as soon as f***.net

is ready for purchase we would contact you with the transfer
information and ask you to open an account with it's corresponding registrar
so that it can be pushed in to your name and account.

Have a great day,

Kind regards,

since my .net does not expire until
Expiration Date: 2012-10-05 21:17:31

so my question is, how could it be released within a few day? or whatever. also any input on this would help, as i dont want to loose it by any sneeky means.

Would like to know how to take action against this kind of individuals.

Should we report the domain being used or the IP the message was sent on?

Will the registrar or service provider take any action?

I've been getting some lately.
