Actually John it's not me. IT's the group I belong to that keep sending this email and Tuesday when I will see them I want to let them know what exactly is that they keep sending out. ok so it's spam.
John how did you find out where it is coming from please ?
John another question, probably I am going to open another question, I need to find a good and cheap IT insurance for my new IT company. any recommendation before I get scammed ?
I use Smart Whois (Tamosoft) and that is how I found out. Any web-based whois lookup will find this information.

Every once in a while, I see this from acquaintances but I delete them on sight.
ok, but what did you type ? the link I gave you ?
what is the website for smart whois please?
What do you mean by Insurance. I have not heard of regular insurance for this,

I use Mail.com (1 and 1 .com) and their spam control is excellent. I pay the annual premium fee and have my email forwarded to my email ISP here locally.
I copied the link above into Smart Whois which accepted the domain and gave me the information I gave you.

If you want web based Whois, use https://www.whois.net/
so smart whois from tamo sofdt is a paid software ?

I can have a job on a commercial building but they require me as a company to have an liability insurance...so I need to get one ..it's about time...If I want to keep working with commercial buildings..
Also, I never open such links. Rule 1: Do not open dodgy links.

The last virus I got was in 1994 on a Windows 3.1 machine and it was inadvertently delivered to me that way by my IT vendor back then . They gave me a free antivirus suite which eliminated the problem. First and last virus.
Smart Whois is paid but inexpensive software.

they require me as a company to have an liability insurance

That is a really different question. Talk to local insurance brokers (2 or 3 and select the one that makes sense).
yes I will do it tomorrow...

thank you John
You are very welcome and I was happy to help.   Good luck with the insurance.
