[AusNOG] Domain Name Group Pty Ltd cheaky marketing...

[Anthony Spruce]

Have seen plenty of them over the years.

 

There's a large amount of posts on them on the Whirlpool forum, under all
their names.

 

They're also known under; Domain Renewal Group, Domain Name Group, Domain
Registry of America, etc, etc

 

Kind Regards,

Hi Noggers,

 

So, just now the accounts people sent me over this notice that a domain name
needed renewing. I looked at the name on the document it wasn't one of our
domain's but  we do own the .com.au version of the domain. We also don't do
business with "Domain Name Group"

 

So I looked again and handed it to my co-worker who pointed out it says
"Domain Name Available"

The document is layout very much like a bill you'd expect to get from a
domain register and I'm sure some people are getting caught out paying for
domains they just didn't want in the first place, so people be aware.


Has any noggers gotten one of these notices?

 

I hosted it for you guys, yeah I cut a few things out of the notice:

Also rang the main line got a message saying all staff are busy and to leave
a voice mail.

 

Regards,

 

Bruce
