You can even fight against this by filing a BBB complaint. Hoping you are finding this from searching, ultimately protecting yourself from this spam company. Here is the word for word mailing that you may receive. So we want to provide this information to protect you, whether you have registered your domain name with Northwoods Web Designs or some other provider.
In which after they own your domain name registration, they can jack your price higher/hold your domain hostage to force you to pay. Why is this considered Spam? Because its unsolicited (you didn’t ask for it) and is a fraudulently deceiving letter, making you think the worlds going to end if you don’t transfer your domain name to them. Why? Because it means many of you are still falling for the scam and paying these fraudulent scammers 300-500% higher cost to own the registration to your domain.
So I first wrote about this other iDNS mail letter a couple of years ago, but my clients and myself are still receiving these. We get asked about these from our clients, which tells me they have clearly deceived their letters pretty well to try to trick some domain owners into thinking a domain renewal invoice. So send letters in the mail about something expiring like your domain name or similar and request payment before “renewal” of something is up.Īnd because they know businesses and nonprofits are busy, many simply send these in the mail to their accounting folks (I know actual clients who did) to get paid. They come from fraudulent domain registrars others who prey on people who don’t fully understand the domain registration service or directory listings in full.
If you own a domain name or someone has it registered on your behalf you will probably come across these devious letters in the mail.
