One of our customers contacted us to ask about a domain name email they received from an Asian Domain Name Registrar. This email, minus some grammatical errors, looked to be partially legit. With 708 Media managing their domain, they forwarded the email to me. As I read this email, it seemed a tad fishy. My client received another email similar to this one the next day however it had all different information. Once this second one came in, I was 99.9 percent sure this was a scam. I ran a quick Google search on the first sentence of the email and found that many other websites have received the same or similar email. Several even when as far to check it out. They discovered this is a scam. This company will talk to you via the phone and email and convince you that you need to register your domain name with them, and at a very outrageous price. It is unknown for sure if they just take your money and run or if they take your money and your valuable domain and run. Either way… DO NOT FALL FOR THIS ONE! (more…)
