[ga] A kind of hijacking of business?
Title: Help This unsolicited mail arrived this evening. This seems typical of attempts
to charge people inflated renewal fees when they have never dealt with this
company before. The unsuspecting might easily be drawn into this commerce. My
domain name is actually registered with Names4Ever (Abacus) and is not
due for renewal until November.
