frauds spams and scams

May 2006 - page updated with some more bounced spam emails with forged from addresses,:
Warning: A number of forged/spam emails have been sent out apparently from amcho.com and other domains owned by us or our customers. The from and reply address are a forgery. We have no association with any product below and suspect all are scams.

We just had a call from a company saying "someone is trying to register your company name on the internet" who tried to sell us the .biz and .info domain names (we already have the .com and the .co.uk). If this happens to you ask them to quote on every single country domain, plus all possible spellings, with and without hyphens, then ask them how they will tell their current customer that they have just registered the domain for someone else.

When you get an renewal notice on your domain - check carefully that it is really from the people who have registered your domain. Even if you are not happy with your current provider - there are many decent people selling domain registration who do not resort to sending out fake invoices.

May 2006 - some more forged/spam emails have been sent out with forgeged from headers. We have no association with any of the following products or websites below and suspect all are scams.
