Domregistrat.com Scam & Spam
If you received a spam email from Domregistrat.com about a domain name you own, with "Attention: Important Notice" it is a SCAM!
Below is a copy of the email I received from Domregistrat.com. I have taken out my domain name & address, which buy the way they obtained by stealing my domain whois information.
The email below is intended to scare people who are not internet savvy into clicking their link and paying their outrageous registration fee of $75 a year. DON'T DO IT!
Note how they state in the email;
"Failure to complete your search engine registration by Dec 1, 2010 may result in the cancellation of this offer (making it difficult for your customers to locate you using search engines on the web)."
That is a total LIE and ridiculous statement. I renewed my domain name in July 2010 so a renewal will not be due until July 2011. They were hoping I didn't have a clue & paid them. Unfortunately for them I have 15 years of internet experience, I'm a consumer advocate and a relentless spam fighter / anti-spam fanatic, who reports every spam email I receive & get spammers websites shut down.
Here's how whois info for DOMREGISTRAT.COM appeared when I first tried to find out WHO was responsible

On 11/16/10, I sent a email to Moniker Privacy Services (including the President of Moniker) and told them about this scam, and sent them a copy of the email I received from the scammer. I asked Moniker Privacy Services to remove the Privacy Services and reveal his identity.
They eventually complied, so I was successful in UNMASKING the identity of this scammer
