My Home About Me

If you own a website or URL, beware! There are companies out there using your publicly available domain name registration data to send you expensive and confusing offers. I received an official looking bill last night from a company called ListingCorp.com. At a glance, it appeared to be an invoice for $65 to renew my annual registration. After looking at it for a few minutes and trying to figure it out, I finally saw this message in small print on the back of the bill: This is not a bill. This is a solicitation. You are under no obligation to pay the amount stated above unless you accept this offer. I could see a busy bill payer completely skipping over this disclaimer and simply sending in a check for $65 to "renew."  Luckily, I remembered that I was registered with Yahoo.com and spotted the disclaimer before cutting a check. What a scam! Have you received a confusing or misleading offer in the mail? First, report the company's unethical practices to FTC and BBB. Second, share your experience with us in the comments section!
