Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

Over the years, I randomly receive a "Domain Name Expiration Notice" from Domain Registry (www.giv.com), for the many domain names that I own. These notices are made to look like real domain renewal invoices. They ask an inflated amount of money for domain renewal. I have called Domain Registry twice and asked to be removed from their mailing list. I consider these notices to be SPAM. This past week I received yet another mailing. I called today and again was very RUDELY spoken to. The agent just kept asking the same question over and over ("what’s your domain") and when I tried to ask this person a question first before my answer, they insisted on the same question and then when I started to say it, he hung up on me.

Today was the worst treatment, usually the call is matter of fact and then I’m hung up on.

After filing a complaint with ICANN, I called back. This time the man wasn’t talking like a robot and said he would remove my address. When I mentioned that I already had called twice before and had documented the calls, and asked were the mailings really going to stop, he said "do what you want with it (the documentation), let it control your life."

I ask that you PLEASE address the matter of this company. Additionally, I have many clients who also receive these notices and believe they are something they need to pay for. I feel this company is TAKING ADVANTAGE of unknowing folks.

I would like for them to be STOPPED from being allowed to collect money in the name of domain registration. HOW IS THIS LEGAL?

I would like for this company to be SHUT DOWN!

PLEASE send me a reply regarding this matter. PLEASE direct me to an agency who can assist with this matter if you can not.

Respectfully, **

Type of a scam Phishing

Domain Registry uses websites like www.who.is to phish for upcoming renewals for website domains and then send mail out letters to have individuals and businesses sign their domains over to their company. They collect your credit card information as well and attempts to call lead nowhere or to constant hold ques.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

My place of business received a domain renewal invoice in the mail. We have an automatic renewal for our domain registry, thus I immediately knew that the letter was suspicious.

They mention that we "must renew (our) domain name", when in fact it is not due for renewal.

They use wording that they can twist to make unsuspecting individuals complete the form as though it is a regular renewal invoice. They mention when our registration will expire when in fact it will not expire on that date.

There is a lot of false information listed on their document.

I did some research and realized that they have scammed others from the past and have gone by other aliases including IDNS.
