         The Federal Trade Commission issued the following statement (in 
part) in December: "A new scam is targeting would-be website owners by 
offering the opportunity to pre-register new top level domain names.... 
Avoid[] any domain name pre-registration service that guarantees particular 
top level domain names or preferential treatment in the assignment of new 
top level domain names....
Avoid[] doing business with people who send unsolicited faxes - regardless 
of the offer. Unsolicited faxes are illegal."
