Domain Registry of America renewal letters Scam

A large number of customers are reporting receiving letters from either The Domain Registry of America, Domain Registry of Europe or EU Registry Services.

These letters appear to be domain renewal notices but on closer inspection are actually offers to transfer your domain name to another registrar. If you take up the offer you will lose any free services that we currently provide with your domain name. You will also pay higher renewal fees than we currently charge.

PLEASE NOTE
If your domain name is registered through us we will send you renewal notices by email which will be clearly marked as having come from us. These emails contain a link to the renewal page.

Here are some details on the companies involved:

Domain Registry of America
This company has already been barred from carrying out this practice in the USA by the Federal Trade Commission. They also operate in the UK and Europe under the name Domain Registry of Europe.

EU Registry Services
This company operates out of St Neots, Cambridgeshire, UK and seems to only send letters to registrants in the UK.
