Yes, got the similar notice today as the OP

 

[webpro24v]

I got this message on my e-mail
I clicked on it by mistake if danger threatens me?

 

[Messiah]

I received the same email. Deleted it. The moment you click on the download link, your PC will get infected...

 

[webpro24v]

What can I do to fix it?

 

[Messiah]

Run a system wide anti-malware scan on your computer. Most anti-virus software can do this by default but I prefer malwarebytes.

Definite scam. Received this today about a domain that we have parked at the moment. No website, email. Never click on a link for an account from anyone.

I received this same email less than an hour ago. I see DomainCop.net was just registered today at NameSilo.

Yeah I did a whois and saw they'd registered the domain today... with protection...
Registrar Abuse Contact Email: abuse at namesilo dot com
Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: +1.4805240066

 

[namesilo]

I'm with NameSilo... wanted to let you all know that the domain was suspended a few hours ago once we started getting abuse reports. You can confirm as such by noting the status of clientHold set in WHOIS: https://reports.internic.net/cgi/whois?whois_nic=domaincop.net&type=domain

 

[Dazzer509]

If anybody is interested I have contacted the domain registrars to see if they reply ? Message below:

Hi Namesilo, a domain recently registered with your company is sending out Spam/Phishing emails which I assume are up to no good. I am sure that the good name of NameSilo does not want to be tarnished with this reputation, so in your own interests I should take the appropriate action necessary. Regards Darren.
The emails that many people are receiving are as follows:

+1 on that action!


imo...

 

[alah]

I receive same that today ,

 

[HnB07]

Yup, i also got that email today. The giveaways for me where:

1: It was not sent to abuse@, postmaster@ or any other standard "administrator" email
2: "...within 24 hours otherwise your domain will be suspended permanently"
3: "There is also possibility of legal action depend on severity and persistence of your abuse case"

E-mail server missuse happens all the time and most of the times it's not the owner's fault. Threatening for permanent suspension and/or legal action is like trying to sue the car manufacturers for all the alcohol related accidents in highways. Real world example: I doubt you could pursue legal action against any IoT company Even if they are partially responsible for something as destructive as Mirai botnet's attack on dyn

Smells like a scam with garlic sauce. Also, like those Indian calls I used to get weekly about my windows computer sending bad reports. They may be onto the mac users now; look out!

1.) Thanks to U guys for finding quick answer to Q. what this mail (received same) is about!
(Just registered to express this)

2.) Received exact same mail from:
Return-Path: <finley_scott-("myemail")[email protected]>
Received: from mail.domaincop.net ([37.61.222.140]

3.) Could not resolve IP 37.61.222.140 (at least not on who.is)

4.) Noticed that "domaincop.net" is too nice a domain to waste on scam?

5.) Noticed: Not only is Domain in Question just parked but also on "Private Registration" / Domain by Proxy with Godaddy. (No point asking them - since most likely the provider with the most lousy service on the net?)
So: How on earth did these scammers find my (correct) email-address?

Needless to say: Did not click on any of the links....

Once again: Thanks to all for sharing!
