Beware of the “US Copyright Registry” Scam

I got an email today, very official looking and sounding.   It was about one of my domain names.  I have tons.   It said that if I don’t register with them they can’t be held liable if someone screws with my site or trademark.

I almost freaked out for a second.   It seemed real?   What did i do?  I googled it and found this:

http://domainnamewire.com/2008/03/12/domain-scam-us-copyright-registry/

If you ever get an email you’re not sure about, google a block of text from it, or the name of the company, or the email address it came from.   If its a scam, other people will write about it, like in this case.

So beware of this scam.   And never click a link, reply, call a #, enter information, or do anything other than check more into it on the web if you’re not sure!
