Domain Support Group
Yesterday I got a cold call voice mail at home from the Domain Support Group saying that there had "recently been changes in the internet" and I should contact them. As I suspected, it's a scam. As Paul Graham suggests in his note, Domain Support Group, I'm linking to it in the hope that it improves its Google ranking.

I just got a phone call from "Domain Support". The caller asked me for my fax number so she could send me something or other. (I told her I didn't have a fax.) After asking her a couple of times to clarify how I'm connected to Domain Support, she hung up on me.

Domain Support Group called me and couldn't tell me the name of the company I registered with, said she would check and hung up on me!! I thought "scam" immediately.

A friend of mine received snail mail from the Domain Registry of America telling him that his domain was about to expire and he needed to renew. He is disabled, and knows nothing about the web, I do all of his web work for him. The letter from them was unsolicited, he was registered through a different registrar. He didn't realize that it was a different registrar, and he sent in a payment. His website is currently down because of technical issues between the two registrars. I called them and threatened lawsuits and BBB reports, and the finally agreed to release his domain name and refund the money that he sent. I will file with ICANN and the BBB about this company.

We received a fax from Domain Support Group today saying that if we didn't renew immediately, we'd lose our domain. I called up our domain hosting company and they told me it's been a scam going on for about a month and a half and that I should notify the BBB.

I too received a bill from Domain Registry of America telling me I was up for renewal-I sent $25.00 only to realize that it was NOT the company I was originally registered with-and my company only charged $9.95. When I realized my mistake I asked Domain Registry of America to refund my $- that was last May-I'm still trying to correct this problem.
