[At-Large] Unethical domain reseller again

[Derek Smythe]

Hi All

A domain scam attempt sent to an anti-scam website :)
http://www.bobbear.co.uk/worldwide-network.html

I thought this nonsense was resolved some time ago, but apparently not.

I wonder if Godaddy will tolerate this type of behavior from parties 
abusing their hosting?  I wonder if they actually do sell domains, and 
if so via which ICANN accredited registrar? Or do they just take your 
money and run?

Other hits on the same scam attempts include:

However digging deeper shows a name change and even more history of 
this type of abuse.

Take a guess what will happen with all the new gTLD's coming along? 
How long before ICANN will receive a spam scam regarding some 
fictitious character trying to register icann.whatever?

Operators with these unscrupulous ethics do not belong anywhere near a 
domain reseller account.
