Verisign Sending Deceptive Domain Renewal Mail?

General_Corto writes: "Declan McCullagh's PoliTech list just forwarded a message detailing how Verisign is sending letters to people who own domains through other registrars, attempting to make them change registrar on renewal. Looking at the letter it is very unclear that you are signing up with a different registrar. Sneaky games are being played."

"Trust is the foundation ..."

Yep, taken from the Verisign homepage:

" Trust is the foundation of every human relationship "

They probably forgot the *: Only applies when you owe us money ;-)

I just recieved one.

But since my domain isnt registered with NSI, im going to send it back to them no postage necessary, and im going to write on it in magic marker "NO WAY IN HELL"

maybe ill add a few washers, since they pay by weight of the letter, thats what i suggest, hit em where the investors feel it.
