Yet another example of the low feeders on the internet arrived in my mail today. It was a “courtesy” letter from Domain Renewal Group that offers me the opportunity to renew my domain and switch the registration to the Domain Renewal Group. In return I “can take advantage” of their best savings.
Their offer – if I act today (insert alarm bells) – is a renewal price of $45.00 for 1 year!
Wow, what a bargain…considering it cost me $10 to originally register my domain. What a bunch of low-lifes. Obviously searching the whois information and sending out these scammy, over-inflated domain registration prices and passing them off as “best savings” convinces enough suckers to switch their registration over to make it worthwhile.
My first thought was to immediately bin the letter as the trash that it obviously is, but then thought a better idea would be to alert others out there to this shonky spam distributors. For those who weren’t paying attention, the name of the company is Domain Renewal Group.
Interestingly, when I Googled Domain Renewal Group the top listing was a site warning people that if they get a copy of a letter from them, to bin it immediately. (I'll just send that site a link to help keep it at #1)
Further down Domainer Income has gone one better with a high resolution scan of the letter that you can expect to receive. It seems the price has gone up since that letter because the price back then was $40.00.
Another great warning about Domain Renewal Group comes from Dellea.biz. (A link goes to you too, sir).
Treat any letter you receive from Domain Renewal Group with the contempt it deserves.
