had 11 this year so far, i put them back in a plain white envelope, write the address and pop em in the post box

when they get the other end, royal mail demand a fee to release letter cos its got no stamp on it. they think the letter has chq inside so they pay the 80p or whatever it is, and get there letter back!

if everyone did that, they would soon stop!

Its a shame though because so many non domainers would fall for it no problem.

Im sure they make alot of money!

No Mat, it's not legal. First off, they have no premise for soliciting you for the money. Secondly, they're using harvested data which has been captured illegally. That's against the DPA laws here in the UK and even the USA 'CAN SPAM' Act.

Remember to put a brick in it and forget the stamp!

We received one of these letters too last week. On the brightside, no one in here claims to know anything about the domain name, so it's not a bad one and it appears to be ours ...... I just need to track down where it came from and how to get it back for our use.
