ok, I'm not sure this is a scam, but it has the potential to be one.
I am the MOST cautious person I know and never click links in emails. I've also received most of the Domain-related scams trying to get me to open attachments or click links, etc...
This was a new one. I got the usual email to verify domain name contacts. I usually ignore them if I know everything is fine with my domain names.
However, one of the domain names was a 4-letter name. I have similar names as the one in the email, but I wasn't sure I owned that one. I have about 300 4-letter names, so I do lose track.
So I just type in the domain name to see if it went to my Efty Marketplace with my default landing page. But it turned out to be some other site, that automatically kicked off a popup window to load another page.
I immediately killed my browser, and powered off my iPhone.
Again, I am not sure this was a scam, but just in case it is... Maybe they just wanted me to visit a site and that could somehow get information off my phone???
