I WON AGAIN!! - erm ... no, not really

But to believe the email I'd just gotten (again!) I won yet (another!) trip to Universal Studios.

It was signed this time by "Tim Monroe, Travel Getaways, Inc."

You should recognize "Travel Getaways, Inc." as being the same "company" that "Sue Madden" was from. It came from monroetravelinc.com, more on that in a moment.

But believe it or not, but they didn't use GoDaddy.com this time. I was shocked. I checked it twice - still not GoDaddy.com. Perhaps they learned?

Remember: WHOIS is your friend.

This is a sure sign of a fly-by-nite corporation ... or a spammer.

This time our friend went through "Domain Privacy Group" which means that using such a company as the registrant means you don't put in your 'real' contact information.

Seems like "Pete Greenwood" finally grew a brain. But it won't help him. His shiney new site just got axed.

And I'm not sorry about it.
