WARNING: Domain Registry of America scam mailing (again!)

[devolution]

Yes, they have started it again...

Received 2 letters this morning.

Those new to DNForum would be wise to look at these old threads so they know what to look out for...

Domain Registry of Canada doing the same thing again

Nah, don't trash 'em.

Put a blank sheet of paper inside the return envelope, slap a 1 cent stamp on each, and make them pay postage due!



If they are not operating a scam, the constant letters are certainly harassment. Why not fight back?

I got one from Domain Registry of America, though it was posted in Great Britain and has an Australian return address..

Not postage paid unfortunately :sad:

It's a scam that works, I bet as many companies likely think that they are legitimate bills. We used to get similar stuff for directory listings and telephone book ads when we ran a business. It was a small business and we never paid them but I bet that many did reward their fraudulent (but likely legal) efforts.

I got my first one this morning...it's going straight back to them and hopefully they'll have to pay for the postage .

 

[Steen]
