    'ello all!

    Just got this email, it slipped past my spam filters. It looks like spam, but doesn't, if you know what I mean, not the mismatch between domain name and email address at the bottom. The hyperlinks are pointing to the same as the text.

    What do you reckon?

  3. Quite a few of our clients have a similar email, and so have we.

    I've ignored them, and I've instructed our clients to ignore them.

    The question to ask yourself, do I want to do business in China, or Asia?

    If yes then a domain name could be good (but not from a cold call), if no then it's not worth the text its written from :)

    Thanks, pretty much as I suspected.

    Surely if there was anything binding they would have to send more than an email.

    Do I want to do business in China? My Mandarin sucks, but if someone had a virus there I would go if they paid my travel. :)

    Consigned to spam.

    Cheers

    100% spam. I found it amusing when I got internet-related spam through the post the other day :p

    Aha, did you get one of those lovely "We can renew all your domains for you" letters from some company you've never heard of?!

    I usually get 1 or 2 a month of those...fun times!

    One day I'm going to reply, just to see what they actually do!

    That's right, just found a copy of one they sent recently - the "Domain Renewal Group"

    ONE .com domain would cost me....£25.00!!?!?!??!? erm...thanks anyway!
