Just when you think you’ve seen it all….
Those of you with websites need to keep an eye out for a misleading fax or email attachment that looks a lot like a legal document titled “Final Notice,” claiming you need to re-register your domain name or lose it.

The one I received via fax (first clue this was a scam, since my web host communicates via email) came from the so-called “Domain Registry Rights” company, but these guys also fly under the name “Domain Notification Central.”
Tear it up. Shred it. Burn it. Done.
