Beware of Domain Name Scams
Protect Your Domain, Beware of Scams
Your domain name is also called your URL/URI or web address and looks something like http://www.YourDomainNameHere.org.
Your domain name is likely registered with an ICANN certified registry and some of them publish your mailing address and the date that your registration expires on their website. Some companies use this information to solicit you.
Unfortunately, there are domain name registries that try to scam organizations into switching to their over-priced service. Four of them are ICLS.NET (Internet Corporation Listing Service), LNOA.COM (Liberty Names of America) DROA.COM (Domain Registry of America), and DLSCORP.NET (Domain Listing Services). These organizations charge 4 to 5 times the going rate for domain registration services.
These organizations mail you advertising that may appear to be an invoice to renew your registration. Instead, it is really a form to switch to their higher priced service. Please read through any domain name renewal invoices very carefully and avoid being scammed.
