Domain Owners targeted in Phishing Scam via bogus eNom Inc e-mails

The email claiming to be from eNom Inc appears to be a phishing scam. Phishing e-mails are e-mails from scam artists who use official looking webpages designed to trick you into believing they are from a corporate website that you have an account with. Once you are at the site, they will ask you to provide or verify personal information such as bank account information, credit card information, social security information and password information. If you get such an e-mail, you should delete it and do not provide any of the requested information. However, if you are not convinced that you have a fraudulent e-mail, please contact eNom Inc directly and explain the e-mail you received. If you give out any personal information, contact your bank immediately and depending on what information you gave out, it may be wise to take measures to protect against identity theft (e.g. contact credit agencies, close accounts, cleanse computer). Many e-mail solicitations that appear to be phishing e-mails are set forth throughout this website and below:

      Dear user,

      On Wed, 29 Oct 2008 18:44:52 +0200 we received a third party complaint of
      invalid domain contact information in the Whois database for this domain.
      Whenever we receive a complaint, we are required by ICANN
      regulations to initiate an investigation as to whether the contact data
      displaying in the Whois database is valid data or not. If we find that
      there is invalid or missing data, we contact both the registrant and the
      account holder and inform them to update the information.

      The contact information for the domain which displayed in the Whois
      database was indeed invalid. On Wed, 29 Oct 2008 18:44:52 +0200 we sent a
      notice to you at the admin/tech contact email address and the account
      email address informing you of invalid data in breach of the domain
      registration agreement and advising you to update the information
      or risk cancellation of the domain. The contact information was not
      updated within the specified period of time and we canceled the domain.
      The domain has subsequently been purchased by another party. You will need
      to contact them for any further inquiries regarding the domain.

      PLEASE VERIFY YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION - http://www.enom.com

      If you find any invalid contact information for this domain, please
      respond to this email with evidence of the specific contact information
      you have found to be invalid on the Whois record for the domain
      name. Examples would be a bounced email or returned postal mail. If
      you have a bounced email, please attach or forward with your reply or in
      the case of returned postal mail, scan the returned letter and attach to
      your email reply or please send it to:

      Attn: Domain Services 14455
