By accepting this proposal, you agree not to hold DS liable for any part. Note that THIS IS NOT A BILL. This is a solicitation. You are under no obligation to pay the amounts stated unless you accept this proposal. The information in this letter contains confidential and/or legally privileged information. This information is intended only for the use of the individual(s) named above. There is no pre-existing relationship between DS and the domain mentioned above. This notice is not in any part associated with a continuation of services for domain registration. Search engine submission is an optional service that you can use as a part of your website optimization and alone may not increase the traffic to your site. If you do not wish to receive further updates from DS reply with Remove to unsubscribe. If you are not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that disclosure, copying, distribution or the taking of any action in reliance on the contents of this letter is strictly prohibited.
Dans l'objet du message on lit "Domain Alert". Il s'agit de faire croire que l'enregistrement du domaine arrive à expiration. Mais dans le corps du message il parle clairement de Domain name search engine registration, et ça, ça n'existe pas. En tout cas, si ça existe, ça ne sert à rien. Il n'est absolument pas nécessaire de souscrire un quelconque service pour que les moteurs de recherches indexent un site web. Je les soupçonne d'utiliser les informations publiques WHOIS pour trouver leurs victimes.
Il s'agit donc d'une arnaque plutôt bien faite qui vise à soutirer de l'argent aux entreprises qui manquent de compétences dans le domaine informatique. Dans ce genre de situations, demandez à votre webmaster ou votre conseil informatique (moi). Il ne faut jamais payer un service que vous ne comprenez pas.
Mettez ce genre de messages à la poubelle et n'y répondez pas.
