An eagle-eyed DomainGang reader spotted something truly shocking in today’s “Hotlist” email from Pool.com.
The domain drop-catching service, sends out a daily list with domains that are deleting, and a link to backorder them on Pool.com.
So far so good.
Perusing today’s email one finds some questionable domains such as ultraxxpasswords.com and dailybabesblog.com, but those pale in comparison to the pair of truly disgusting domains we highlighted below.
Pool.com “hotlist” email.
Truly shocking!
As our reader said:
“You would think they would proofread the email prior to sending it to thousands of customers!”
What the hell is going on over at Pool.com? 🙁
Interesting and very unfortunate. Has someone over at Pool been notified of this?
Yeah, I noticed them too – thought the same thing as you – who proofreads that email?
I’m not even sure their system even works anymore anyways.
I’ve tried to catch a few domains over the last couple months and although
they get added, they just sit there and Pool never gets back to you with
the results…seems like they closed shop or took some summer holidays…
Are they even in business anymore?
Not defending Pool, but I would venture to guess this list is automatically compiled from backorders already placed with them, in an attempt to get multiple backorders and send a domain to auction should they actually catch something.
This is not the first time I have seen names of this “caliber” on Pool’s list.
So, the better question might be: Who actually backordered those names?
