Below is the text of an email being sent out by the above company. It is
self explanatory. I have no issue with IRA sending this out to their own
customers or to someone who has contacted them to renew a name. However,
I have information that they are being sent, unsolicited, to domain name
registrants and that is a major concern.

 

Would those on the list who are re-sellers please endeavour to ascertain
whether any of their clients have received such an email UNSOLICITED. If
so, please let me know as soon as possible.

 

Regards,
