I got a letter in the mail from some "Canadian Internet Registry" saying my memoryfire.com domain was expiring soon, and that I could 'conveniently' transfer it to them and have them charge $40/year for it -- or $70 for 2 years. I got a good laugh out of that one.

I just forward those e-mails to the guy in Nigeria who keeps bothering me. I think the domains are his.

I've even gotten some of these via snail mail. I just find it funny that people renew or protect their domain via a company that has no affiliation with their registrar.
