Scam Invoice sent by Domain Registry of America
By now, I’m sure most of you have heard about or seen a letter from “Domain Registry of America” (Wikipedia). They’re the ones who send you a letter in the mail saying your domain is about to expire (and seem to have a loose definition of ‘about’) and that you should just pay them 2-3x what you normally pay to renew a domain and renew it with them.
Oh, and it looks like an invoice (look on the side).
Oh, and it seems like you must have done business with them before, since they have all of your general information because you’re required to list it in the whois record or they (your registrar) can remove your domain.
Anyway, now that you know who I’m talking about, I wanted to pass along a bit of information from Mark Karpeles, which is that these guys seem to now be also operating under the name “Domain Renewal Group”, at least outside of the US, but possibly within as well.
Disclaimer: I haven’t done personal research to be sure the scum sucking dirt bag company that is Domain Renewal Group is the same scum sucking dirt bag company that is Domain Registry of America, but Mark’s evidence shows that even if they’re not one and the same, they do seem to be scooped out of the same steaming pile.
