[gnso-frn-dt] so here's a new scam -- just started a few weeks ago

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

so the first one was just weird, but this is the third.  so i guess it's a 
trend.  kindof a variant of the TLD-slamming scam.

these guys stick a dash into one of my names and then try to sell it to me.  
i'll probably get about 4 attempts on this one, just like the ones for 
ca-fes.com and shel-ter.com.

they *had* to get this info from WHOIS -- the email address they used is only 
published there…  so it's a scripting thing against the WHOIS database.
