I've been online since '98. I've been a major since '98. Since that time, I've recieved lots of spam, some more legitamate (or at least legit-looking) than others.
I have to say that I recieved the slickest one yet. No, not a Nigerian bank scam, but one that actually took some effort to do and was likely put out by an actual company and sent to me via snail-mail! What was this wonder? Why, it was a domain registration service!
So yeah. These guys sent me a message saying, in bold letters, that the registration for my domain, giomancer.info, was going to expire in September 2005! Oh noes! Good thing that ain't my domain, eh? And they tried to sell me giomancer.com and .net to "prevent domain duplication". The only thing they didn't try to sell me was the domain I actually own. Go fig.
