Why are people from India trying to call me about an expired domain?
I got a call yesterday for a defunct domain I used to own and another woman on the other end with an Indian accent butchered my name and then proceeded to ask me if I owned the aforementioned domain. Again, butchering the domain name pronounciation. I told her it was expired, and that I did not want to continue this conversation and hung up.
Seriously people, are they that hard up to make a buck that they’re dumpster diving into expired domain registrations? I’m also wondering who’s selling these lists. Is it Yahoo? Since that’s who I registered the domain with (back in 99 or 2000, I don’t even remember.) Is it Network Solutions or ICANN that handles most of the domain registrations? I don’t know, but its making me pretty peeved that once I pay these hucksters for my domains, they feel completely feel no responsibility to guard my privacy.
