Domain Expiry Emails - Phish/Glitch?

[Jo3y]

Hello

I'm recieving a number of emails informaing me that domains that I do not own are due to expire. These are being delivered to my 'administrator' box that I have setup to deal with issues concerning my website(s) and not the gmail address I have nominated to recieve emails from Statichost.

I presume that this is either a phish attempt or a glitch. either way i thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Here is a copy of one such email :

Hello,

Thank you for letting us know, I'm not sure why you are receiving those emails!

I am going to look into this now.

Any news on this?

I think I have found the cause of these emails, according to the domain registrar that we resell for, they had some database corruption which caused emails to be sent to the wrong email addresses.

You shouldn't receive any more of these emails, but if you do - let me know.


Regards,
