WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

UPDATE! (2-15-2008)

I emailed Snapnames directly from a URL that was on my Snapname account to ask about this email. The suspect email I posted on 2/14 was legit. I received the following email from Snapnames:

Dear Jennifer,

Thank you for contacting Manage.SnapNames.com!

The email was sent to you by SnapNames.com, which is a separate company. I did, however, verify that they did send the email and that it is legit.

I have also forwarded a copy of your email to their marketing department so that they can be aware of your concerns.

If you have any other questions, please let us know.


Sincerely,


Dorothy Placencio
Manage.SnapNames.com Support
Manage@SnapNames.com

Again, thanks to Snapnames for clarifying this so that I could set the record straight here; I don't want to cast a dark cloud on a company doing a legitimate marketing campaign for a client.

Best,

Ms Domainer

BEWARE!

I have just received the following email from what I suspect takes a user to a scam site! Some of the links look real, but the link to make changes is not:

[This takes you to a strange URL, not at all related to Snapnames or Oversee.net. The domain URL is d.exct.net/--To protect readers of this blog, I have deleted the very lengthy subdirectory. exct.net is a marketing firm; the site shows as being "clear," but evidently someone is spamming and scamming from the site.]

If, by chance, this is a bonafide site, then Oversee/Snapnames need to do a better job of writing email messages to their consumers.
