Message:

I recently received a spam from http://www.new.net and was thoroughly excited to find I could register websitew with .travel, .kids, .church..... pretty much anything. If you read their agreement very closely, it hints that you have to download something into your browser to view these new top level domains....I figured that out after spending over $200 on some of the best domain names. Is this fraud??
