Scam Alert: Domain Names Pty Ltd

Recently, a company called Domain Name Pty Ltd, has issued mailouts which are disguised to look like an invoice (see below). If you received such mail, you should throw it in the bin (preferrably before opening the envelope) - Domain Name Pty Ltd are not the providers for your domain. Note also that the prices quoted in the mailout are 3-4 times the regular cost of domains.

We have issued formal complaints to various consumer bodies (auDA, Dept of Consumer Protection and the ACCC) in relation to this matter, who have responded favourably. As it turns out, the directors of Domain Name Pty Ltd are from the liquidated Domain Names Australia Pty Ltd which went bankrupt after losing a court case against almost identical behaviour (see http://www.auda.org.au/news/dna). Hopefully, disciplinary action will be taken again.

Please feel free to contact us if you have received any mail of this nature or have any questions.
