Lame domain name hoax.

We got one of these faxed to our building today. It’s from a company calling themselves "Electronic Domain Name Monitoring." It’s pretty much your basic domain-name scam. They claim that somebody’s trying to register your domain name (not possible, of course), and that they’ll "protect" it, for a fee. I’m not going to waste my time calling them and yelling, but it does bother me. Beyond the fact that junk faxes are illegal under federal law. Tools.
