Got a form letter from Domain Registry of America, and they’re scam artists. Beware. I have never done business with them, in spite of what their letter implies, and you haven’t either, at least not knowingly.
They use an update of the old business scam of sending fake invoices to large companies and hoping some clerk makes a mistake and sends money. On one hand, they do provide a service by switching your domain name registrar, so it’s not fraud. On the other hand, they sometimes lock the domain registration so you can’t get your money back and switch your domain back to your original registrar.
One Web report says they make over $140,000 per MONTH with this scam. I will start calling them Monday and see if I can get an answer of any kind. Stay tuned.
If you have been scammed by them, let me know.
