When I refused to give it to him he told me it was very important. I told him if it was so important, he could just email the information to me at the email address my domain registrar already has for me. He told me that was not possible because their email servers were down. At that point I hung up.

I got the distinctimpression that it was a boiler-room operation (lots of chatter in thebackground), and probably in Asia, based on the accent and QOS of the line.I receive calls from these operations a few times a year. The calls seem to be originating from India and to be scams launched by to "Domain Registry of America" and "Liberty Domains of America", two well known domain slammers.For more, seehttp://www.thelivingmedia.com/business/services/ news_domain_registration_scams/or Google "Domain Registry of America" or "Liberty Domains of America".--Brett Glass ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lorrie () acm org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ipArchives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting- people/
