NameJuice.com AKA Domain Registry of America http://divageekdesigns.com/2010/07/26/domain-name-slamming-namejuice-com-aka-domain-registry-of-america/ http://divageekdesigns.com/2010/07/26/domain-name-slamming-namejuice-com-aka-domain-registry-of-america/#comments Tue, 27 Jul 2010 01:27:26 +0000 Ibdreamy http://divageekdesigns.com/?p=3892 Use social networking to fight back against these types of companies..!!! BE A SNIPER! I’m bringing this up because it irritates me personally to no end to see innocent people taken for a ride.. so I just wanted to make sure that everyone who reads my blog knows that Domain Registry of America (DROA) is pulling off their domain name scam under a “nifty” new domain name, “NameJuice.com” (a.k.a. Domain Registry of Canada, droc.ca) So, if you've never heard of the scam known as “Domain name slamming”. Then….…please read on.. The scam is this... DROA sends you what appears to be an invoice for a domain name renewal, making it appear as if they're your current domain name registrar and that it’s absolutely URGENT that you renew your domain name or risk losing it forever. They also email out “Transfer confirmation” emails to domain name owners and how people don't question those I have no idea but people continue to fall for them.. in these emails people are asked to confirm their transfer request. It seems everyone would know wether they requested a transfer or not but I guess not. Anyway, some people are completely clueless when it comes to who their domain name registrar is, and will unwittingly pay the invoice, not realizing they are actually transferring their domain to someone other than their original provider. In many cases this is just the beginning of much bigger problems and MUCH higher renewal fees AND..In most all cases the domain name wasn’t even up for renewal!! AND It’s not cheap!! They charge $75 bucks a year from what I’ve heard which as most of us know is ridiculous to say the least..Sad thing is none of this is illegal! Because somewhere in the letter in small print.. it says “this is not a domain name renewal this is a transfer” and as we all know… most people don’t even know the difference between the two anyway. Well, DROA.com also knew this and that’s why they've continued to get away with this scam for the past 6 years. If you do a Wikipedia lookup on the definition of “Domain name Slamming” it actually mentions DROA.com in the freaking definition!! My point? Try to warn people. Tell your friends who own domain names to watch out for this company and to ignore those letter in the mail. Write about it on your blog, share this post on your facebook, twitter etc.. you can use social networking to make it harder for them to scam people out of their hard earned money. You might really save someone a lot of heartache if you do. Think how messed up it would be if your company domain name was hijacked by these clowns. Some people depend on their websites to survive.

My Site My Way which is something new to me..what I found strange instead of them having their own domain names they use a subdomain - for example: icons.mysitemyway.com must be great for mysitemyway's search engine optimization! If I were the webmaster however at one of these sites I would definintly register my own domain name.
