Getting Smart! Don't Be a Fish!
Don't let people take advantage of you. This guy has a great page:
You may want to think twice about the person who contacts you regarding the new .info domain names. Never mind they aren't really authorized to do this. You shouldn't give them your credit card number.
I am sure that there are more than a few who have preregistered with these sleezoids and are waiting for their .biz, .nu, .vu, .info, .pro, .tv, .cc, .intl or some other dot something.
Before you give some complete stranger your credit card and info about what domains may be valuable to you, you might want to read a bit about it. The info below is from Dotster.com <http://www.dotster.com/resources/newtld.asp>
From Dotster: "Confused by registrars offering to "preregister" domains in the new TLDs? According to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), no one has been authorized to preregister these domain names as no companies have been accredited yet to register the new TLDs. Registration procedures have not been formalized and there are absolutely no guarantees that preregistered domain names will be awarded once the TLDs become operational. We are recommending that Dotster customers avoid preregistration sites for the reasons explained above. We are committed to implementing the new TLDs as soon as they're available and will keep you updated on ICANN's progress during the implementation."
