Anyone ever get calls from Web.com?

[Ronald Regging]

I recently registered a .US domain from Moniker and I've been getting calls from Web.com, informing me that with my registration I am entitled to a free website design. They usually call when I'm in the middle of something, so I just hang up, but next time they call I'm going to mess with them. I'm trying to figure out if this is pure whois mining telemarketing scum... Or if they have a partnership with Moniker or the .US extension that I am unaware of?

Cant find a partnership with either .us or moniker Current Partners | Web.com

they must feel there is money in your name ? could be worth listening to them ?

could also be someone posing as web.com. I would mess with them a little but never agree to anything. There are alot of people who have reported problems with web.com as well if you do a google search for web.com reviews.

Next time they call I would ask... How did you get my number?

If they respond we are whois mining scream "you bitches" and slam the phone down

If they respond moniker leaks all emails to us scream "those bitches" and slam the phone down

:hehe:

stewystarr has a good point as well, google the number and make sure it is actually web.com as well.

I know a while ago I did some .mobi or .us at moniker (don't remember which one) and I was confused as it went through one of their registration partners so the receipt didn't say moniker on it, don't think it was web.com though somebody else.

I'm sure Bari can let ya know if they have anything to do with web.com
