Domain scamming emails
Have you ever received an email that looks like this?
Well, if you have, it's a scam. These are people trying to steal your domain name by acting like it's about to expire and trying to get you to renew it.
If you get one, do not respond do it, and don't click any links in it.
If you can, report it to your email service as fraud, and then delete it and move on.

I think you've gathered enough scams to start your own anti-scam website.

Yeah, I seem to be a very popular target.
It's probably because I haven't fallen for any of them yet, so they're trying to get one past me.

That's exactly it, they want to try and scam you so you'll tell everyone and they won't get scammed and so they won't make any money.
