Domain Name Scams

If you own a domain name, chances are you’ve received an “invoice” in the mail to change registrars or get a domain “listing”. A client of ours recently received this invoice from a company called Domain Listings. This is a scam designed to catch people who may not be paying attention into sending some money for a service they don’t need.

This invoice is not for domain name registration at all – the service they are supposedly providing is to list your domain name on various sites, presumably to help with your site’s ranking on Google. Even if they performed the service, it would likely do more harm than good.

In the vast majority of cases, your domain name registration renewals will not come in the mail.  If you get any paper invoice regarding your hosting or domain name, be very suspicious.
