Today at work I recieved a call about an "urgent change to the internet regarding my domain name." When I asked her what the change was, she wanted my fax number. I played dumb and said I didn't have one and she offered up a 800 number. She then said their email was down which is why she couldn't email me the message. I didn't bother asking her why she couldn't just TELL ME ON THE PHONE and told her I'd leave her "urgent information" as a mystery. Naturally I searched google after I got off the phone and found this article. Apparently they are trying to mislead people into purchasing .info, .biz, and .tv domains. What's more the only way she could of snagged my work # is if they were going through domain registry contacts and cold calling. Not a very respectable company. If you get a similar call, have some fun with them.
