Well i keep getting phishing emails about some of my domains. it is normal. however its their wording tht has me worried.

dont worry i havent clicked anything, just visited their website manualy. ( omegaacquisitions.com and netprodomains.com

now what gets me is this:

Hello,

We are promoting the sale of f***.net

to any interested individuals that have related websites. If you want to obtain f***.net for yourself you
can do so by leaving an offer here:

netprodomains.com/****/*****




This would be a single transaction with our company for complete ownership and you can redirect traffic from f***.net to point to your existing website, you also get a years
worth of complimentary registration included so you don't have to worry about renewal fees for the first year.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us any time.

Regards,
Domain Brokers Team

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.

The domain ********.com will go on sale shortly and we are sending notification emails to all with similar or related domains.

Or you can simply reply back to this email with your offer and we will register it for you.
