Home Scam

[Michelle]

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.

 

[Michelle]

So why in the world of so many scams today, do they send out letters like this and like 3 months after I regged it??

This is a brand new stuff: true mail looking like scam

There is so many scams going around why on earth do you not get a warning from godaddy to expect these letters.

totally agree! They should know better after all these scams!

 

[Michelle]

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

 

[diddie]

The y have to work it out, try to tell them that, maybe they ll change that procedure

Again, I am lucky im here and can bounce this off you lot :bah: but not everyone belongs to a forum like this.

In this day and age, very bad practice

I dont know if its a scam, but i hope that its not.

 

[Michelle]

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.

 

[Xyzer]

Well phone the company and ask them, just to be on the safe side.

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

Maybe I am just being too careful lol :D

 

[Xyzer]

You will never be tooo careful.

 

[Michelle]

You will never be tooo careful.

Agreed that is why this has made me kinda mad :td:

Blimey, TRUST ME its not a scam, its a nominet thing, your .uk names are powered by nominet and if you transfer a .uk domain you need to go via them thats why they need everything, trust me ITS CLEAN

[Xyzer]
