As a web host we get to see many different types of scams or domain slamming notifications.

Here is one that i received via skype:

Hi, I'm contacting you regarding http://www.*******.com.au/. We have been trying to obtain the domain name details so we can update nameservers for the above site for the last month.
R*******: The client just sent through their FTP details which they said came from yourselves but these are not the details we have been seeking.
 *******: Can you please provide details required to update the nameservers on the domain http://www.**************.com.au/ – we would like to make changes in the next day or two at the latest. My name is R****** from **********. If you need permision, then please confirm with client. Many Thanks, R*******

The domain in mention is not one we host nor is the domain registered through us, so has nothing to do with us.

About 10 months ago we had a simular event, that time the person wentto the effort to sign up as a affiliate then emailed in a ticket saying that he was a client and that he wanted the domain details and passwords for another client of ours. The effort failed, and in both cases the domain owner was advised of the attempt to get there domain registration details.
