www.domainrenewalonline.com - Fraudulent domain name reneal company

[temi]

The is a funny domain name renewal company that sent me and email telling me my domain name expires in 90 days.... I never registered my domain name through this company, they must have mined my data from whois.

Most of the members here would not fall for this cheap trick but less aware webmasters may fall for it so beware of domain renewal should you get a domain renewal email from them. The want to renew my domain name for $79 per year when it actually cost me $7 at my genuine registrar.


The email I got from them pasted below:


Your domain name www.ozami.info will expire within 90 days.
You may renew your domain with Domain Renewal. Click on the link in this
e-mail to renew the domain for another year. You should renew your domain as soon as
possible in order for it to continue to be registered in your name.
