I just got a phone call from these people that was very evasive and was definitely originated in a foreign country. They were giving me "courtesy updates" about my domain name registered at DirectNic.com

Directnic has always been very good to me, thats why I continue to pay 15.00 a name to register.

This company told me thatthey were the "Notification Processor" for the Internet.

I bluntly asked him:

What do you have to do with DIrectNic? He said, "Nothing"

Why are you contacting me? He said "We are informing you as the notification processor to the internet of recent changes, and after I inform you, you can make your own decisions on what to do."

What the fuck does that mean? Do you work for DIrectNic? He said, "No."

Why are you calling me about my domain names then? He said "We are required to do this because we are the "Notification Processor" for the Internet."

Do you work for ICANN? <CLICK> dial tone..............

What the fuck?

Caller id was blocked too.

Anyone else experience this? When I informed him that I have worked in web for 12 years, he started to get sketchy.

This is the site he sent me to.

www.domainregistrysupport.com

I've gotten wierd sales calls right after I registered domains before, but tis domain I have had at DirectNic for 5 years almost. This is also the first person that purportedly worked for "The Internet"

WTF?
