Huge Increase in # of Designer Spam Emails on Hand-Regs

[The Rover]

We've all received our fair share of spam, no doubt. However, I've noticed in the last 2 weeks or so I have been getting an A** TON of spam email specifically from "web designers", congratulating me on my new, hand-regged domain and how they want to earn my business as a designer/developer. I've never received this much spam.

Anyone else noticed the same?

Nope.

I'm only receiving tons of spam from Alex and Alyanna. I think you cannot be called a true domainer, unless you get an email from Alex.

I dislike the web designers spam like crazy, because a) the title often looks like a domain purchase inquiry. and b) I have zero interest in their product.

At least selling domains spammers can be entertaining and thought provoking

I've been receiving a number of those as well. "Congrats on your new registration..bla bla bla"

It's either some really desperate web designers or some new scam (like the old appraisal ones)..Either way, they go to my spam folder after reading about the first half of the first sentence. I'm guessing they are just pulling the days registered domains and then emailing the whois on all of them.

Do these guys actually make money? I wouldn't think so. Looks like a bunch of wasted time to me!
