Something new on the scam front: your account is inundated with mailer-daemon responses to email you never sent, but stating in the header that the faux mail was undeliverable. Of course, if this kind of thing wasn't presorted by my gmail account and shunted into the spam folder, I might think otherwise.
Be careful out there. The bad guys are becoming craftier by the minute.

For all of us who have an Internet domain registered: Be aware that there's
an apparently new form of scam, where the domain registrant receives a
message warning of immanent expiration of his/her/their domain.
The one I received was very plain, and the return address was a ymail.com
address; pretty transparent.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!
Go to your domain registrar (e.g. GoDaddy) where you signed up, and check
the status of your registration, and if it needs attending to, do it there,
not through the email.
BTW/FYI: Anybody in the world can see your registration by running a whois
query, so harvesting the domain name and your email address is easy.
