Verisign Sending Deceptive Domain Renewal Mail?

Posted by timothy on from the no-kind-words-for-verisign dept.

Looking at the letter it is very unclear that you are signing up with a different registrar. Sneaky games are being played."

    I recieved the letter as well.

  2. But how did they get the addresses? by gambit3 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    doesn't it imply that there's some sort of "address list selling" by the registrars going on?
