"renew your domains" scam

This scam is probably old but I never saw it until now:


I got a shit load of letters (snail mail) in my post box this week
all form some place calling themselves:

"Domain Registry of America"

funny thing is their office is in Melbourne australia....
anyhow it was a reminder to renew my domains which immediately aroused my suspicion as i have never requested any regitrar contact me by snail mail for this

so then i read all the letters and every single one of them is asking me to "renew" www.mydomainnameshere.INFO

haha! smart asses - ive never owned a .info LOL

oh so i went to thw website just to see what the scammers charge:

$40 for a renewal!!!

oh and their "bulk rate" is $15 per domain!!




you gotta give em credit for trying - I wonder how many ppl get sucked in by it though?
