I just got a domain "renewal" notice from the Domain Registry of America
(complete with patriotic flag stationary). While the mailing is
designed overall to look exactly like an invoice, the fine print states:
"This notice is not a bill, rather an easy means of payment should you
decide to register or renew your domain(s) with us."
Of course the pricing ($40 for a 2 year renewal) is higher than what I'm
paying now ($15/yr).
I've gotten e-mail versions of this sort of scam before, but this is the
first "snail-mail" one I've recieved. Has anyone else gotten anything
like this via physical mail?
