Answer: When it’s a scam.

Seen one of these?

That’s what a domain scam looks like.

Huh?

You see, we own swimcommunications.com.au. Have a look – it’s a sample e-Commerce store. The above notice is imitating a renewal for that domain. But it’s actually selling me a new .com version and sweetening an inflated price with a $69 iPod Shuffle. That way you can listen to your favourite tunes to make you feel better about realising you got ripped off.

So if you see this, or similar paperwork, please read it carefully. Is it actually for your domain? Feel free to check with us – there’s no charge.

And one last peace of advice…
