DomainName.com.au
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.

I have paid for www.gumbyisalwaysright.com.au
If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

I'm beginning to suspect that some of you aren't taking this warning seriously

who pays roughly a quarter (perhaps less) of the stated price for www.richardspurling.com

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!)
:eek:
