I just finished reporting a bogus corporation that just wrote me an official letter with a big AMERICAN FLAG on its logo! They sent me a "SITE EXPIRED" NOTICE and a FAT bill on Flag studded stationery for my domain name annual rental ..only at twice my usual price. These slimebags had all my info down. Address & the business name I was registered under, STARPOWER. (I do natal horoscopes for 15$ to 54$) Like most internet scammers they not only had done some serious homework but they already had their hands wrapped around my wallet. They cannily told me I was nearly up on my annual 15$ DOMAIN NAME fee so I should send them thirty bucks. I was writing out the check when I thought hey, I never paid that much in my life. and I looked more closely at the bill.
Their expiration date wasn't mentioned as they didn't know it. So the whole thing was a RUSE. I went to my WEBHOST and saw that I have 'til Aug 2010. so a whole lot of months of my YEAR are still paid for. They just greedily LIED and wanted not my usual 15$ a year but at their fat price of 35$ a year. WHO WERE these masked men? I asked myself. MORE IMPORTANTLY, Whom do I write to --in order to report them? I have learned there's no one bigger than YAHOO groups. They frankly rule. (One of my articles got published there and my WEBHOST told me I'd passed bandwidth for the MONTH! (mumbling he-he-he-hes, I went ONLINE to a YAHOO group and circulated to thousands of people simultaneously.) I hope all who see it, send it to a chum who owns a website.
I told the group that I wanted to trounce DOMAIN REGISTRY of AMERICA with a flag on their logo... on their total un-American mendacity, scaring little tiny website owners with a huge BILL saying "Domain Name Expiration Notice." HOW DARE THEY! I reported their name, told the groups how they are at www.droa.com and told readersl that I'd be sending this text to everybody I knew, every group, every WIRED type newspaper, the works!
I also hinted to my yahoo chums: If you get a bill like this, don't fall for it. I do the SNOOKERED INDEX PAGE, which is three dozen different ripoff that pals/ family / workers and even legit seeming businesses will try on you so they sure picked the wrong person to send this to! See: http://www.masterjules.net/snookeredindex.htm
So I sent a copy of my letter to these thieves at DROA.COM signed
it and said PS, JERKS: . GO look for yourselves at that website, banditmeisters,
pickpockets, gypsies, thieves and in a recession? YOU ARE SLIME!
and while you're at it, look for your lying asses at my WEB SITES FOR
DUMMIES seminar also

under DOMAIN REGISTRY ARTICLES, YOU WILL BE THERE," I finished. At that
point another website owner chum called, "I got this weird letter! And
they'd gotten the thing, too. Was I relieved to be able to stop them from
sending the 35$ these donkey turds demanded.Send this file to everyone
you know who has a website.
