I wonder if you have experience what I am experiencing. If you do, can you please share with me how to deal with this?
If you have not, maybe you can also learn from my experience.
Today, I have just received an email (spam or not - I don't know) that reads like this:

The sender is among those listed in a post about "Domain Name Scams" by Firetrust a website selling anti-spam softward, the link is
here. It seem to me that several other domain owners had also received such emails. If it happens to you, check out the sender's details at the link provided.
At the moment, it looks more like a SCAM as we can't verify the authenticity and/or good intentions, etc. Hence, be cautious not to reveal your personal details or bank account numbers.
