moniker emailing domain suggestions? - GoFuckYourself.com

I've received a couple of emails that say, we know you've registered MYDOMAIN.COM, why not register MYDOMAIN.NET too.

They're sent to my Moniker contact addr and include my name.

At first I thought it was a phish, but it looks like it may be legit, and they're just trying to drum up some more business.... and do some extreme tracking while they're at it!!! (there's a hidden image to track the mail being read, and every link seems to have a unique tracking ID.)

It's legit. I get them too.

I got one today too

Yeah legit, but kinda smells funny. Mailed via a third party with all that tricky tracking. Does that even work in 2012?

KeyDrive owns a bunch of other domain related businesses so they doing something right. A little corny though.

Ah, forgot they bought Moniker. Yea, they're trying their best to revive it I'm sure. Moniker has been one of the biggest sinking ships among domain registrars.
