Ein wunderschöner neuer Spam-Brief ist unterwegs. Heute bekam ich die Email, das eine meiner Domains bald ausläuft und ich doch bitte untenstehendes Formular ausfüllen und per Fax wegschicken solle. Der Clou daran ist, dass das Ganze auf den ersten Blick gar nicht mal so unecht aussieht. Die angesprochene Domain läuft wirklich bald aus und meine Postadresse stimmt auch. Gut, diese Daten sind öffentlich zugänglich im Whois-Verzeichnis des jeweiligen Registrars, aber das weiß ja auch nicht unbedingt jeder Domaininhaber.

Domain soll übertragen werden

Der Witz an dieser Mail ist, dass sie eigentlich nur ein ziemlich dreister Vordruck ist um seinen Hoster zu einem unglaublich hohen Preis zu wechseln. Und durch das Kleingedruckte am Ende des Briefes wird das Ganze nach amerikanischen Gesetzen wahrscheinlich sogar legal. Also aufgepasst!
