I have been gradually moving domains from 123-reg, normally near to renewal time, but still have about 35 names there.
Last week on the 13th i received 5 forwarded emails originally from nominet but forwarded from [email protected]. example below.
Dear Identity Protection Service
Congratulations!
The following .uk domain names are registered for you:
xxxxxxl.uk
Welcome to .uk
A .uk domain name tells your customers, visitors or supporters that you
believe in a safe and trusted online experience, whether you are developing a
business, running a charitable organisation or writing a blog online.
The domain name provider that manages your domain name should be your first
point of contact for any queries you may have.
Your registrar details are:
Registrar:
123-reg
www.123-reg.co.uk
0345 450 2310
Domain names registered with this provider:
xxxxxx.uk
Nominet is the internet registry for all .uk domain names and operates the
national infrastructure that helps make the UK internet work. For more
information about Nominet please visit our website at www.nominet.uk.
You now have access to an online account with Nominet that you can use to
manage some other services associated with your .uk domain names (for example
to transfer your domain name or check your registration details).
Please follow the link below to access your online account and confirm that
your contact details are correct:
https://secure.nominet.uk/auth/login.html
For online tips and advice and to discover why .uk is such a great place to
be, please visit www.agreatplacetobe.co.uk and follow us on twitter @dotuk.
Out on its own for the first time, the new .uk domain is now available to register.
This means that shorter, smarter "example.uk" domain names will be
available alongside "example.co.uk", "example.org.uk" and so on.
For more information and to check your right to register, please go to
www.dotuklaunch.co.uk
As far as i can see i cannot access them at nominet, i also cannot access the names at 123-reg. I have not been asked , by email or otherwise, if iwant to register these domains.
Images re what it says in control panel at 123-reg.
Surely as these were registered on the 13th, whether i wanted them or not, i should now be able to decide what i want to do with them.View attachment 1689 View attachment 1690
Thanks for posting this - interesting
It addresses you as Dear "Identity Protection Service" which is clearly not you
Also looking at whois for identity-protect.org it shows the Registrant as:
"Registrant Name: Identity Protection Service
Registrant Organization: Mesh Digital Limited"
so there is no mention of Identity Protect Ltd anywhere
are your domains registered in the name of Mesh Digital Limited t/as Identity Protection Service ?
