They have even got me at home :lol:

Letter on my doorstep today reads:

This letter is your confirmation that the domain name shown above is registered for two years from ****. Please check that your name and address are shown correctly and confirm or amend your details using our online service at http://www.nominet.org.uk/replyform. After you have confirmed your details online you may download a certificate for your domain name.

Not bad since I regged at godaddy :bah:

Its not a scam. Nominet is the .uk registry. They send a letter like this to EVERYONE who has registered a .uk domain. I would suggest that you follow the insturctions or you could lose your domain.

The fact that the letter states I need to confirm all my details makes me automatically think scam :td:

Not a happy bunny. What about someone who is not lucky enough to be a part of a forum like this, they could lose their name :(

Ok so why just for .uk names are these letters being sent out? Why are my who-is details not enough? Why am I not (ever) pre-warned these letters will be sent.

How would that help if it WAS a scam, they would be primed for that ;)

Maybe I am just being too careful lol :D
