Just got a letter from this lot of scumbags offering me the domain name

www.australianmadesouvenirs.com for only $225 for 2 years.

it didn't cost me anything like that to get the domain name

www.australianmadesouvenirs.com.au for 2 years

ripoff merchants.

If you own a domain don't be tricked into this scam as it could be easy to think its your existing domain coming up for renewal.

Bob,
"australianmadesouvenirs.com" isn't registered to anyone presently.

If you wish, you can register it for $15.00 US.

I have a few .com domain names which cost between $5 and $15 US per year and deal through Dotster.com who I have found completely reliable.

Strangely perhaps, I did a couple of searches with another mob less reliable mob a few years ago, and found that everything I searched became unavailable within a few days. I couldn't get bitingmidge.com at first, so settled for .net, but watched the registry for a while, and picked it up after a year when they couldn't unload it.

I wondered if they ever used the site they registered after I searched "XYZregistriesareadudroot.com".

There's a mob calling themselves something like "Domain Registry" who send me an annual renewal bill for about the sort of money you mention, but they are just a scam.

They have a Melbourne or Sydney address (dunno which, one of those dens of iniquity!). I keep meaning to go to consumer affairs.

I have also checked gumbyisreallyaplasticineboxerbitch.com and found that it was being used by someone to flog second hand wares somewhere on Melbourne's northern suburbs.

Cheers,

P (as many web projects unfinished as woodwork ones!)

Funny, I don't see them. Is it after the page of me sitting on the laps of the swimsuit models or is it in the forum where Kylie Minogue has left me that pleading message to get back in touch?

yeah yeah I can understand people doing that to you when you're out in about, but what happens online?
(BTW I once met Mr Hill, 20+ years ago he came into where I was working while he was at twin towns, nice guy, very polite, very well accessorised)

http://www.blackers.com/bestseal.gifthis is the award that blackers.com has been awarded for the 8th consecutive year up until 2004. this year I reckon the award should go to OZWINNER for that unbeleivable orgasmic pedestal.





my thoughts only, but who could disagree.
