Domain Spoof Spam!

[darrent]

Can't believe it - just registered a few domains with Register1 (hi Jamie) and I have received my first spoofed spam from the domain address in a record 30 minutes!!!!

Scary stuff....

Wow, I only get a couple every now and again, took weeks for the first one to arrive...
Then again did have a bit of a spam filter on but on a very low setting. Looks like you'd better do the same at that rate

Might well find if its a generic enough domain, that its been receiving email for ages, just there was never a domain to accept it, either that, or it used to be owned by someone else and it was deleted.

Still strange ;(

Alas the registries do sell new domain registration info to companies for a large price.

Rest assured we NEVER pass out details to anyone!

Jamie - I have no doubt you are personally responsible for this spam Joking aside I think your answer about it being spammed/previously registered before I registered it is correct as all the spam comes to a particular user name.
