For many years now, domain owners have been plagued by various domain registrars trying to dupe owners into transferring their domain registration to them. Even today, they continue using the same unethical tactics to trick domain owners. They attempt to make you believe your domain is about to expire and they send you what looks like an invoice for domain registration renewal.

It's a SCAM.

In their postal letters (click below to see an example) and now email campaigns (click below to see an example), they try to convince you to transfer your domain to them by using threatening language and misleading information. They usually claim their communications clearly state they are not an invoice or bill and that the correspondance is truly a solicitation. (it is usually in very fine print)
