Default www.domainrenewalonline.com - Fraudulent domain name reneal company

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.

Click here if you wish to renew your domain

Services and information about Domain Renewal
Domain Renewal maintains domain addresses, and registers and consults companies in
relation to Internet domain ownership. We inform businesses about which domains are
registered, and remind them if a domain is due to expire, or when it is time to renew a domain.
If you want Domain Renewal to extend the domain for you, we ask you to click on the link in
this e-mail. If you do not wish to use your domain after the due date for renewal, you may
disregard this e-mail. When Domain Renewal extends your domain no information will be
changed in the “Whois” information section. The domain will be extended for 1 year. You will
therefore continue with your current supplier. You may also request your Internet Service
Provider to renew the domain for you. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate
to contact our customer service centre by sending an e-mail to
