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?
