Domain Name Renewal / Credentials Scam – ISP Renewal Reminder
October 7, 3 CommentsI received this unsolicited commercial email asking me to renew a domain that I’d already renewed!
The company wanted $79.95 to renew a .com domain name! Of course, I had already renewed it for less than 10% of that price – with my REAL registrar.
Companies like this provide me with a constant source of entertainment. On their website under “How does it work?” you will find Step #2 in their instructions. It reads:
“We interact with your Internet Service Provider/ ISP to renew your domain name. In cases your ISP requires your login information we will contact you by mail and you will have to provide us with login information so we can preform a renewal.”
Ohhh… so I send you my credentials! Oh that makes sense…. here are mine for Network Solutions.

Please renew all my domains for me as they will expire soon. Wow…. that should take care of my portfolio. Now, back to outbidding Halvarez….

I had already renewed my domain name with Google for $10 when these phony bastards came along with their spam offering to do it for $79.95. Assuming that they actually DO spend the 10 bucks to renew the domain name, and that they have slight administrative costs, that’s about $65 pure profit. Sorry jerkoffs – you’re a week late.
what’s ? $79,95 ? Hà-Hà , sorry but i am not stupid !
