SPAM ALERT!
Each email has an attached .zip file. We would like to warn all our customers that this is SPAM and please do not open or run the attached .zip file as we fear it maybe a VIRUS as it holds hidden files. The email comes predominantly from: webmaster, postmaster, sales, info, service or customerservices @yourdomainname, i.e. webmaster@joebloggs.co.uk. We would like to inform you that any emails relating to your account, domains, hosting or dedicated servers will never have any .zip files attached. So if the email you receive has a .zip file attachment then it is not from us. If you receive any of these SPAM emails please delete them immediately. Please also note that these emails do not mean that your account has been hacked, they are masking their e-mail address to make it appear like it is from your domain name. We would like to stress that these SPAMMERS are not getting your personal information from our site or any other department of LCN, and these emails are not just isolated to LCN customers. It appears that they are targeting the whole internet registry. If you are still concerned or receive an email you are not sure about please do not hesitate to contact our Support Team on 0870 744 0823 who will be happy to help and advise you. What is Spam? Spam is unsolicited messages sent in bulk by electronic means, usually for commercial purposes. The most common and widely recognised form of spam is that delivered in e-mail as a form of commercial advertising. However, over the short history of electronic media, people have done things comparable to spamming for many purposes and in many media. Spammers have developed a variety of spamming techniques, which vary by media: e-mail spam, instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, web search engines spam, weblogs spam, and mobile phone messaging spam. Spamming is profitable because advertisers have effectively no operating costs beyond the management of their mailing lists. Because the barrier to entry is so low, the volume of unsolicited mail has produced other costs which are borne by the public (in lost productivity and fraud) and by Internet service providers, which must add extra capacity to cope with the deluge. Sustained periods of inbound and/or outbound delivery of bulk Spam "Spam Storms" end up costing business millions of pounds a year in human time and attention spent dismissing unwanted messages and consumption of more and more computer and network resources. |

regarding an email being sent with one of the following statements

This month LCN is celebrating it’s 4th birthday. Although we started life
back in November 1999 it was in July 2001 that the LCN's website, as you
know it today, was launched and we began offering competitively priced domain
names and web hosting.
