2.3.05 21:52 About Domain Registry of America and snailmail spamfilter ( , , , )

I have received once more a letter from droa telling me that my .info domain registration will expire and that I have to send them 23$.



I wonder how many people answer such a request. I think a lot. I know so many people which have a internet domain but are technically absolutely clumsily, and such are intimidated by this kind of letters (even more if you don't live in an English speaking country and receive an official like English letter).

Not only you pay for the new registration, but you also transfer the domain name rights to droa.

Spam is becoming more and more annoying not only for e-mails, but also for snailmail (I'm waiting for a viagra snailmail) and telephone calls ("PC: you have won 1.000.000€. Please call back 0190/xxxxxx", (0190 is the prefix of expensive phone calls in Germany)).

Unfortunately such kind of phone calls does exist.
And yes, it's sad that there is such a lot of fraud happening; but it is as sad that such a lot of people are so clueless and get defrauded so easily.
