Beware of fake domain name scams .

I got this email below regarding my Forum https://www.valleyofthesuncc.com/ . It says something about submission expiration of my domain name e book or some sh_t . I have never heard of . It sounds as fishy as it is .

The message below is a scam and a fake . It is not the site I buy my domain name from .

This one below is the fake one . It was sent in contact to my email and as a PM message in my inbox of my Forum .

I am posting this to warn others .

It looks very real . It is not . As soon as I got it I messaged Forumotion support staff with my suspicions . It was confirmed when I was told that the site that I would buy my domain from would appear in the AP .

That the message is an empty threat

I do not believe that the website PM's are hackable . I just wanted to make users and mods aware of these types of messages .

This is also a lot of trash our forums are as safe as any other site and you have nothing to worry about.

There is really no need to keep this topic open.
