This deceptive practice, known as domain name slamming and more commonly implemented through e-mail and fax, seeks to confuse customers and lure them to another registrar. In some cases, we are concerned there may be another motive, such as identity theft, behind these Web sites Warning signs for which to look: The business name and contact information on the Web site change frequently Detailed information about the company is not available on the site You are unable to reach anyone, ever, at the phone number listed on the site The Web site doesn't offer additional services other than renewing domain names. Visitors are brought to a single page, where they are asked to input personal contact and credit card information. The Web sites do not use SSL encryption to securely pass this information, and there is no seal suggesting that company has been validated by a trusted authority. Steps you can take to protect yourself: Report any similar incidents to DomainRegister.com (for DomainRegister.com customers only) We report these incidents to our partner, Network Solutions, who take legal steps againts these organizations where appropriate File a complaint with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at www.FTC.gov. Click on File a Complaint and follow the instructions. Complaints also may be filed against international companies. As with any online transaction, you should make sure you know with whom you are doing business and make sure the Web sites are secure. Protect personal information with Private Registration. This DomainRegister.com/Network Solutions service masks your phone number, e-mail and postal address, to deter telemarketing calls, spam and junk mail solicitations, as well as to guard against identity theft. What DomainRegister.com does to assist: We have turned Domain Protect "On" for all domains to prevent unauthorized transfer of domain names from your account. Domain Valuation and Valuation Scams 11-Mar-2005 - There is a somewhat widespread scam currently going around in which a domain registrant receives a random purchase inquiry. When the domain registrant responds to the inquiry, the putative purchaser states that they will pay the amount provided by an objective appraisal, and the "purchaser" states that they only trust any of three or four services. One of those services, coincidentally, is priced well below the other ones. So, the domain registrant obtains the appraisal, sends it to the "purchaser", and the "purchaser" is never heard from again. The point of the scam is to induce domain registrants into buying useless appraisals. Senders of Phony Domain Name Invoices Meet Justice 25-Feb-2005 - Domain Registry of America, based in Ontario, Canada, is prohibited from engaging in similar conduct in the future, and is subject to stringent monitoring by the FTC. The company also has to provide a full refund, including any administrative or cancellation fees, to approximately 50,000 consumers who cancelled a transfer request Nominet wins case against Domain Registry Services 11-Feb-2005 - Francis-Macrae was found liable of copying and using records from Nominet's WHOIS database to send out fraudulent domain name renewal invoices under the name of 'Domain Registry Services'. He was ordered to pay Nominet costs of £81,000, with damages to be determined at a later date at a hearing at Huntingdon Magistrates Court. Nominet also obtained permanent injunctions preventing Francis-Macrae or his companies from misusing the .uk WHOIS database or trading under the misleading 'Domain Registry Services' name Domain transfer rules are a cyber squatter charter SECURITY AND network services outfit Netcraft has warned that the new rules for domain transfers that will come into effect on Friday, November 12, 2004, are a cyber squatter's charter Firms must set up processes to renew domain names and guard against Web site hijackers, or their businesses may suffer, say experts.

Effective Friday, November 12, 2004 ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has changed the domain name transfer policy for all accredited domain name service providers. We are concerned that this policy change puts your domain name at greater risk for being "slammed" (fraudulently transferred). The prior policy allowed you to expressly approve a transfer request with your current domain name service provider before any transfer would occur. The new policy, however, eliminates this express approval safeguard, removing an additional protection against unauthorized transfer requests. We, at DomainRegister.com, protect our customers by turning on DomainProtect (Registrar Lock), only removing it at the express desire of the customer. This step allows our customers to control the "transferability" of their domain names, and provides protection against "domain hijackers." If you have concerns about this transfer policy change, you can contact ICANN directly at icann@icann.org.
