I have all my domains registered with Namecheap.com but today I got an email from some company called "domainrenewal-online.com" and I just wondered what the hell they are doing telling me my domain is expiring and that if I want to keep my domain I have to register it there. Is this some kind of con or something? The site does not even have a page rank. This is the email I received: ------------------------- It is time to renew your domain name www.driving-lessons.biz ----------------------------------------------- Your domain name www.driving-lessons.biz will expire within 90 days. You may renew your domain automatically with Domain Renewal. Click on the link in this e-mail to renew the domain for another year. You should renew your domain as soon as possible in order for it to continue to be registered in your name. Click here if you wish to renew your domain --------> http://www.domainrenewalonline.com/for.php?d=driving-lessons.biz As soon as we have received your payment, you will receive a confirmation that your domain has been renewed. -------------------------------------------- Services and information about Domain Renewal Domain Renewal maintains domain addresses, and registers and consults companies in relation to Internet domain ownership. We inform businesses about which domains are registered, and remind them if a domain is due to expire, or when it is time to renew a domain. If you want Domain Renewal to extend the domain for you, we ask you to click on the link in this e-mail. If you do not wish to use your domain after the due date for renewal, you may disregard this e-mail. When Domain Renewal extends your domain no information will be changed in the “Whois†information section. The domain will be extended for 1 year. You will therefore continue with your current supplier. You may also request your Internet Service Provider to renew the domain for you. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact our customer service centre by sending an e-mail to
It's a pretty common scam...a lot of people fall for it. Some simply transfer your domain to their registry (if they even have one) at a ridiculous yearly rate, and others are more insidious.
These particular guys seem to spam very intensively lately. New kids on the block, playing the same scam as droa.com
yea,its like a snail mail letter i get whenever one of mine is within 2 months of expiring..they want like $100 a year..A Holes
