Have a look at this[1] e-mail. Would you say that it's not a scam because it clearly says "this notice is not (...) associated with a continuation of services for domain registration"?

- SquareWheel 15y agoNo, I'd say that's clearly a scam. I don't believe that malice is involved in the app above, where it is obviously the case in the phony domain notice. I've seen them myself, it's why I apply WhoisGuard to my domains.
- 1880 15y agoWell, you're right, it's not the best example: one steals money from the user, the other doesn't. But why would anybody make an app called "<popular app> Fan App" if it's not to take advantage of its fame, confuse users and make quick money (with ads or affiliate links or whatever)?
