The Underscore Archives

		Use a "whois" service from a domain name registration company and you're
asking for trouble.

Why didn't you just go to the relevant NICs site directly? (www.nic.uk for
.uk domains) or www.nsiregistry.com (for .coms etc) - that way you know
you're not going to be scammed.

Cheers,

Rich
