WARNING! DropCatch/NameBright Imposter Phishing Email Going Around....

[tomcarl]

Edit: I just noticed someone else warned about this as well.

I just received this email a minute ago. It seems like they are now posing at DropCatch/NameBright like they are other registrars. Do not click any of the links.

It's coming from a .info email.

Hello everyone in NamePros,
I am new here but never been new as I always come to get the latest without bothering anyone as I only meet big guys with knowledge here so I know my size among those IT Freaks lool, Anyhow I came today to share you all with some remarkable experience I have experienced today as is :

• I found a lovely domain gealicmedia.com was dropping and I kept my eyes on it BUT in the same time I wanted to secure the domain for myself so .... I contacted some broker for that domain
• The broker replied to me his fees start from $500
• The domain is for buy now -GoDaddy auction- for €12 and went up to €28 after check out
• I ignored the broker and chanced my arm and got the domain and paid for it and get the receipt
• 3 days after i paid , I got an email from the broker asking me if I want to buy the domain
• I respond I have it already ,
• Few mins later I got an email from GoDaddy telling me to give me back the registration fees. What !!!
• I wet to the domain page and I found the broker page is taking over and the conversation with him is online for the public
• The broker now is the man in charge

Beware of that guy or any other broker as they have their low ways to deal with domainers

To be honest that put me off everything and coz I have had a bad experience I cam forward to tell you guys

Regards
Ihab
