Over the weekend, I spotted an ad for some interesting sounding sex toys, complete with an email address. As ever, I added www. to the domain and had a look. No response. OK, well some people don't have a website... let's have a look via whois and see who's behind the anonymous postal address they give.

Not registered.

So I registered it the next day, as you do (this would make a good katyha survey question!)

And the mail's come flooding in over the past two days!

Well, seven identical copies of a 'I've stolen $25m, but it's in a Nigerian bank account and I need an accomplice' spams. Plus a different one. And a ''I've stolen $35m, but it's in a South African bank account...' Amusingly, the last tw?t gives a London fax number, so it's off to the DTI with that one.

Oh, and an email asking how the ad's worked from the publisher.

{I thought I'd posted about this, but going to add a comment, I see that something obviously got in the way of actually pressing 'post'... BTW, if you think you're missing something here, it's probably because you're not on my friends list - half my posts get the friends-only tag.}

So, will you be sending a postal mail saying "If you want to see this domain alive again, send ?x in used notes to..."?

I think it depends on just how clueless they are. The mail from the magazine did say that they'd tried to call them on the phone number they gave, but it didn't work!?!

The current plan is have something vaguely plausible (Post-Millenial Promotions?) but also a pointer to my own sex toys site.
