    Just curios, I got an email that looked more like a copyright infringement letter about a site of mine. As I read further it was a sales pitch to get me to sign up for a service, spam. uscopyrightregistry

    First fake snail mail bills threatening loss of domains if I don't renew with them, and now scary emails trying to trick me. I got so use to pill ads, this caught me off guard. Anyones seeing these emails?

    It seems that scammers just updated their methods of scamming.

    I've never heard anything about any mails like this.

    Any chance you could post the original email here?

    Thanks!
