Beware The Domain Phishers!

I have one domain and one domain only at Enom at the moment and even that is about to transferred to my usual registrar of choice, so it came as a surprise to me this morning, to have received a number of emails that appeared to be from Enom.com telling me that my whois information was inaccurate and that my domain could be deleted - though it didn't say which one.

The emails were sent on what's called a sequential autoresponder, that sends pre-compiled emails in a sequence set by the writer.

Had my email reader been set to read emails in HTML format (as most are by default), I might have clicked on the link. However, I only read emails in text format and saw that the url at the end of the mail was not enom.com. (Viewed in HTML, it just says enom.com of course).

Having just flown back home and feeling very tired, this one could have caught me out. Luckily, it didn't.

Just in case you get a similar email, here are all three of the emails I received. As you'll see, they don't mention a specific domain name, they are addressed to "Dear user" and the url is dodgy.
