Becareful with .EU Pre-registration services
DomainAvenue.com has become aware that unsolicited emails are
being sent to its customers (and everywhere) from a company
called ".EU Registry" using email addresses like registryservices@internetdrive.com,
xxxxxx@europeanregistry.biz
or help@registereu.com.
These notices are asking people to pre-register their .EU domain names
and submit their credit card details online to this so-called ".EU Registry."

Beware of .EU domain SCAM - January 18, 2004
If you receive emails telling you to go to europeanregistry.biz
or registereu.com to pre-register .EU names,
PLEASE BE WARNED THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE FRAUDS. They send unsolicited email ads
(forging our email addresses @domainavenue.com) trying to mislead and deceive
people in order to obtain their credit card details. They clearly have NO
association with DomainAvenue.com. We have already reported this to both
the Specialist Crime Directorate of the Computer Crime Unit at the
New Scotland Yard and the police in PR China.

Can I pre-register for a .EU domain name now
As at the time of writing (September 3rd, 2003), pre-registration of
.EU domain names is not possible in the .EU Top Level Domain.
(Please refer to information about .EU Sunrise
for details.) This is because the Registry for the .EU Top Level domain has
not yet been selected. Names obviously cannot be registered until
the Registry is in operation. Applications will then need to be
made through registrars who have been formally accredited by
the .EU Registry.
We are aware however that some companies like .EU Registry are
offering to pre-register or reserve domain names, essentially by
offering to make an application for the registration of a domain
name to registrars as soon as the registration process is formally
initiated. Given the risks for confusion, pre-registration services
are not recommended. In any case consumers and companies are
encouraged to check exactly what is and what is not being offered.
Consumer warnings
Please note that at this time it is not possible to register or
pre-register a .EU domain name with EURid and there are NO
accredited registrars for .EU. If you would like to be alerted
when registrations become possible, please
