ICANN Accredited Registrar can spam anyone without permission

Yeah, happened to me too. Was thinking I don't remember accessing their page :D
Now it's clear, they are spammers.

I use them a lot and have never had a problem, efficient and good value.

They may have been hacked.

They are spammers. There have been threads about them on NP in the past.
Another outfit to avoid.

They just don't care.

Glad I saw this thread. Was thinking I lost my mind and forgot about accessing their services.

Good afternoon **** (Here I prefer to use "Wot"),

It's Helen, how was your birthday, if I didn't ask before?

Though I've been pregnant for 32+ weeks and ready to stay at home to wait for the baby's coming, I consider I need take care of this issue in person.

Thank you so much for your information and help on the board of NP. It seems NiceNIC.NET got more attention huh?

I learn from our senior tech team that our website was not hacked, thank you for giving an explanation to the NPers for us, I consider you must know, it's actually our sales staff who sent that kind of called "spam" Email for the purpose of direct-marketing, they didn't mean to offend anybody, but got inspired by some other Registrars and reckon maybe this kind of marketing method would work more efficiently.

But I honestly did not understand what Hybrid Names said of "received like 15+ mails (on 3 different mails)", I checked our Email log and notice that our system would only send 2 Emails to one Email address and our sales team just started this kind of marketing method recently, they didn't have time to send Emails repeatedly in so short time.

PS:

Hello Hybrid Names, Shelby90, deflee79, and bigdomainer, we sincerely apologize for not having your permission in advance, I know you mind such kind of marketing approach, when you have time and mood, please PM your Email addresses to me on NP, I will have our tech team informed and remove your contact data from our database thoroughly to guarantee that you will not be disturbed again.

With respect to Kate (or sdsinc)'s statement, I thank you again for the nice word of "Scum", we cherish both flower and catcall since we can always be encouraged.
If any of NPers here who already became our customer or partner like "wot" said "NiceNIC.NET just don't care.", that is our real failure and incapability.

Thank you all for your time! We stay here at your disposal.

Kind regards,
Helen

Please try to get inspired by the d registrars, those are providing big discounts like $1 .com domain etc . Don't inspired by unethical marketing piece
