Re: [ga] Fraudulent Request to Transfer Your Domain Name(s) to NetworkSolutions

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ted and all,

  My suggestion is to report these fraudulent requests to
us-cert.gov ( follow the instructions provided ), spam@xxxxxxx,
and fill out an incodent report to uc3.gov for each one you have
recieved immediately.  You may also want to send by forward
each of those fraudulent requests seperately and directly to
the abuse and hostmaster Email address of the originator
and Networksolutions.  Save each and all of these reports
for your records.
