Domain name phishing warning
#1
Dear Valued Customer,

You are receiving this important system announcements, because you currently hold an account with us.

We have discovered today that domain name scammers are attempting to contact domain holders with US based domain names. You may have received a phishing email informing you of the need to keep up-to-date with the registration of domain names. This email says it is from Webnetics UK Ltd. but leads you to a different web address. To protect your own details, please do not follow the links in this email.

I have included a copy of the fake Webnetics UK Ltd. email for your reference at the bottom of this email.

While we intend to inform all our customers regularly of the need to re-register a domain and keep there contact details up to date, we will always direct you to a recognised Webnetics UK Ltd. website (Virtual Web Designs) link. Any action necessary regarding your account with us will involve a link that begins with http://www.vwdesigns.co.uk/portal

“THE PHISHING EMAIL

Dear Domain Holder,

This message is a reminder to help you keep the contact data associated with your domain registration up-to-date.

As of October 31, 2003 we are required by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to send you this reminder by the Anniversary date of each registered Domain Name that is subject to the terms and conditions of that organization.

Below is a list of domain names with your email address listed as the registrant or administrative contact. The current contact information associated with the domain may be verified by following the link provided.

If any of the contact data is inaccurate, it must be corrected. If you need assistance in accessing your account to make these updates, please reply to this email. If the contact data is accurate, no further action is required to comply with this notice.

Please remember that under the terms of your registration agreement, the provision of false Whois (contact) information can be grounds for cancellation of your domain name registration.

Domain Names with Anniversary Dates between November 1 and November 30

Name: Registration Date:
