The link to bid on the domain name was an affiliate link. Anyone know if the software being used to match domain names with people who might want to buy them is commercial software? Thanks, Joe
I would think it was a sort of scaper that sent that email out to the whois details to anyone with domains names that have "zoo" "world" or "tips" in it.
