other [email protected]?

Did anyone else get contacted from this email address? They are claiming to be ICANN and need me to verify contact info.

Is it legit?

RUN RUN - Scam

if you search the address it seems to be associated with a number of registrars in the EU but i don't know if i would trust it.

If i were you, i will call ICANN to verify - Mind you that businesses will never ask you to update your information through emails. You need to becareful with emails like this...

 

[Keith]

Nobody else got the email?

 

[Sukhvir Singh]

There is No such process of verification!! Be aware !!

I probably get 10 of these in my junk mail per day

 

[Dave_Z]

I didn't get that email, albeit I kinda wonder...No reply @?

Still, good to be aware of such things.

Maybe it's a way of seeing if the email bounces back or not to update their spam database.

You are required to do nothing; though it appears that you are, because the bounce back is what they want for an unsubscription in order to keep their IP's clean the next time they blast out for sale / other real scams.

Haven't gotten any from this email, but got verification checks from others. They are more legit looking with the body (nothing required, following policy, etc.).

First of all, ICANN never send any email directly to client as their white lebal policy. Only registrar of domain can contact to client on any verification. its all except .US domain where Nuestar INC which manages .US extention contacts client for verification.

Update:

This was actually an email verification process from Moniker. I ignored it and they put my domains in client hold!

After clicking the link to verify my info, the domains came out of client hold.

Some domains do require verification, it's particularly prominent in the UK right now.

I got this email today from moniker for a domain I bought from snapnames

It doesn't say it's from moniker and the email verification domain Whois doesn't show proper info.

This is a lousy job at verification and letting customers know who they are.

Same here. I was expecting Email from Moniker but couldn't believe they this scammy looking template for verification. So I searched namepros and decided to click the link in Email.

This scam is back. We have received several emails today.

Why is everyone saying this is a scam?

 

[atinc]

Why is everyone saying this is a scam?

Because it is a scam...

They are claiming that they are ICANN but they are not...

What about Keith's explanation?

Just searched for this email. I had a result with the subject of "ICANN inter-registrant transfer" that was for the transfer of a domain to another registrar. It was not a scam.

Dear registrant of *******.com,
In accordance with the Section II of the ICANN Inter-Registrar Transfer policy (see [https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/transfer-policy-2015-09-24-en]) we kindly inform you of the following changes that have been made to the registrant details of the domain name listed below:

It was showing me the contact change after the transfer.

If I recall, this was when moniker had huge security issues and loads of domains were stolen. Many people got out quick, including me.

The email they sent was scary in that it wasn’t clear if it was legit and they were changing domain status to client hold on domains that were in good standing. I eventually just clicked and verified my info. I’ve never used moniker since and won’t ever again.

Thanks Keith. I didn't realize how old this thread is and that it got bumped up today. For what it's worth, my transaction was in the last month or two and was not a scam nor did it require me to click on anything. It simply informed me of a contact change.

I looked at my mail history and there is nothing that indicates it is related to moniker, although it was.

Beware if you’re getting emails like this today.

I just got one today, along with my very first moniker aquired domain. 2 from moniker , and this 1 from [email protected] , attached screenshot of what you see when clicking link. so is this a scam or is it not ? I guess ill call moniker, but this thread was very back and forth so clarity on experience appreciated.
