An Aussie judge has branded the actions of two internet domain conmen as "nothing less than deceitful" after they sent out 50,000 fake invoices to domain name holders in the UK. The dodgy invoices from UK Internet Registry were sent out last year after Chesley Rafferty, Bradley Norrish and their three companies had hoovered up the details of thousands of domain name holders following a data mining attack on the .uk WHOIS database. The attack in February 2003 was so bad it forced Nominet - the .uk Internet domain name registry - to suspend its WHOIS database for nine hours to prevent the theft of further details.

I recieved one of those letters, also from another compnay calling themselves Domain registry of america (based in LOndon UK) lol what a joke. They wanted £45 for domain registration...but really in the small print it says ' you agree to trasnfer the domain to to us and pay all the charges'

complete scam! im glad they got this ruling against them Hopefully they will end up being someones bitch in prison


max.
