Deceptive mailing on Domain Renewal

I received a deceptive mailer requesting payment to continue my domain name. Upon closer inspection, Domain Registry of America is not the company responsible for my domain registry.

The official appearance of this mailing has lead to domain owners making payment to this company and unknowingly changing their registry.

This practice has been reported in another blog  in 2010. The mailer claims low registration prices, but they are higher than usual.

The Buffalo, New York, Better Business Bureau has several complaints against Domain Registry of America for this type mailer. They have been given a "F" rating.

If you receive this type mailer, throw it away.
