A quick question for Nosemonkey. Are you checking the correct .eu register?
First, he sent unsolicited “spam” e-mails to
thousands of people around the world offering to register them for new
“.eu” European domain names. The money rolled in at the rate of
£200,000 a fortnight, people thinking that he was a genuine registrar,
the court was told.
One customer paid £5,780 to register a long list of addresses.
The defendant accepted payment for offensive names such as f***theeu
although they would never be allowed, it was alleged. The other trick
involved posting letters to people whose domain names were due to
expire, demanding a renewal fee under threat of service being
withdrawn. This brought in nearly £600,000.
