Just received the email quoted below (actually copied from the DI link). Seemed fishy to me-- as in "Spear-Fishy" . Did a quick Google and found the link below. Looks like I was right. I suspect other registrars will be spoofed in the coming days as well.

EDIT:
I see that NP'er ITCorp received a similar email from NameBright and posted about it here,
https://www.namepros.com/threads/warning-new-namebright-fishing-email.888348/

Update #2:

Read the comments for the above link as others registrars ARE being spoofed as well. (I love it when I'm right...)

Yup - Got a few of these as well. Specifically for 6N.com's I have registered. Beware everyone, they are faking them from all registrars.
