E-Telephone Spam
Is telephone spam a new marketing ploy? I registered cornellstudent.info to redirect here the other day with 1and1, my provider, because they currently have a free 25 .info domains promotion.

If they’d have only checked www.cornellstudent.info, maybe they’d have seen that I don’t need any any help with the site.
