Scam Description
Domain Networks is a predator. In this case, it hurt children by targeting a non-profit charity that gives free new shoes to needy kids. Domain Networks sent this volunteer-run charity a letter that looks very much like an invoice. The volunteer treasurer believed it was an invoice for the charity’s website domain hosting and sent Domain Networks $289. That represents the loss of 18 pairs of shoes for kids who need them. I am a co-director of this charity and am reporting Domain Networks to everyone I can think of. The letter really does appear to be an invoice, although if you read it carefully, you will see it is “a solicitation”. Anyone not familiar with their company’s website agreements could fall for this and send a check to these predators.
