Get your domain name

Fake mails regarding “inaccurate whois information”

Lots of people are asking us questions regarding mails claiming their domain name is registered with falsified information. The mail asks for the data to be verified and/or corrected. And they make the threat to deactivate the domain name if the information isn’t corrected soon.

The e-mail looks like it was sent by “eNom”, but it’s actually a fraud. Even a relatively well designed one. The real e-mail that you would get if your domain name was as indeed registered using false information, would look very similar.

One of the most striking things which directly indicates that it is a forgery, is that the domain name that would be using false information, isn’t mentioned anywhere in the e-mail. A real message telling you that your Whois information is incorrect, would of course mention the domain name of which the information is disputed.

However, if you are in doubt, do forward the mail to us. We will look into it further.
