Has anyone else received the following? I was especially unimpressed by the
legal threat at the end. I get the impression that the sender hasn't a clue
about who will be entitled to use the .museum domain. But then he uses the
.net domain and isn't really entitled to that (hardly appropriate for a
proposed business listings site).

AIUI pre-registration is meaningless, and actually impossible, and the
.museum TLD will be administered by the unfortunately-named MDMA

With respect to this attempted scam, you may be interested in:
