Default Does any one get these annoying letters in the mail?



So yeah I seem to get a few of these letters in the mail probably like 10 a month...

I have a fair few of my domains on private, yet not every thing, any way to stop these letters?

I don't know who in the world would every pay the rates these guys ask, it is something like $70 a year for a domain which costs $7 a year.

I get them and I get the clients ringing me or emailing me about them too. There must be some money in it, like spam, or they wouldn't continue. It's been going for a long time now.
