I had a signup last week, which I was a little suspicous of, but all checked out ok, so I setup the account, and watched it. Sure enough within 48 hours they were sending out spam spam spam.

No biggie, it happens.

But in the last week I have had three signup, including this one, all of them had domains registered by amberdomains.com, the domains pointed to no where, and where and were newly registered.

Ohter than that, one thing, everything else looks ok on the signups, IP they sign up from comes from the city or general area of the name and address info, they use. Credit Card info looks ok.

The last one, though used an email address that went to a domain that was registered by someone in Guatemala.

This is really pretty odd, but though I would just give a heads up to a least be on the look out for these, and watch them if you do set them up.

Seems a little coincidental that they came from amberdomains.com

Will keep a lookout though, thanks.

We've gotten some Guatemala related fraud/spam.

Thanks for the heads up!
