Scam Description

US Postal letter looked like an invoice from a domain name service that was hosting one of my domain names. It is actually an offer to list the domain on their “marketing site”. This is the Internet twist on the classic “Yellow Pages” scam, the fine print makes this clear, but it is a misleading none the less. The “marketing site” is nothing more than a giant list of websites less useful than google… The letter was sent to my business where an unwitting employee might have paid the “invoice”.
