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 bought a domain for US$5 not long ago. Haven't done anything with it yet.
I think I'll have to register www.gumbyiswrong.comPhoto Gallery

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!)

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? Originally Posted by Daddles
