Called me today to try to pressure me into buying six different versions of my organisation's domain name @ £200 a piece for 10 years. They claimed that someone had registered them on-line and they were just awaiting credit card clearance, so I only had a few minutes to make my mind up whether to beat him to it and pay for them.

Needless to say I turned down the offer, and the boys in the IT department are working on ways to spam any site that tries to pass itself off as us.........
