We’re Looking Out for You!
We’ve had a number of clients come to us recently asking if they should respond to a letter they’ve gotten in the mail regarding the renewal of their domain(s). Be careful! There are quite a few companies out there, Liberty Names of America and Domain Registry of America being just a couple, who are attempting to run a scam. They often send out very legitimate-looking letters to the primary contact of the domain telling them that they’re domain name will expire soon, and giving them instructions on how to make a payment to renew it. However, the money rarely makes its way to a legitimate registrar, and often you get signed up for a recurring fee which does you no good.
If you are one of our clients, we will notify you when your domain is nearing its expiration, and we will renew it for you if you like. We will never have a third-party company notify you of impending expiration. If you’ve received something either via snail-mail or e-mail and you are unsure whether it is legit, Google it! If you Google “Liberty Names of America”, for instance, you will see right off the bat that it is a scam.
If you have received an e-mail or letter that you believe to have been a scam, please feel free to contact the Federal Trade Commission with the information, and help put a stop to it.
