I got that one today, it says it may take 24 hours to become active. I have
also gone to the site and rejected their offer. That is what they are doing,
I didn't make it up. I didn't ask for it nor have I ever had any previous
contact. That was completely out of the blue today. I registered
thomson.id.au when the .id names came out just because my damn name is so
common.

Is this complete misrepresentation?

$ whois johnthomson.id.au
No Data Found

I must admit I am somewhat relieved, the idea of a registrar
pre-emptively registering a domain name that you might like is even
scarier. But still, seems like a flat out lie to me.
