I was very interested today when a client called me concerning his .com
renewal. It seems ING have sent him a renewal management letter. It all
seems above board with the small print and pricing making interesting
reading.

What concerns me however is the fact that it is a .COM Where did they get
this information from as I can't imagine them sifting through the whois and
choosing only australian companies to target. The information must have come
from only two sources I can think of as the domain is only used as a
secondary name and has no email or marketing attached to it. The domain is
registered through MIT and hosted with a large australian hosting company
who also appear as the tech contacts for the domain (I am now changing this)

ING seems to have access to information on Australian domain name holders
very easily. I wonder.....
