      Status:
      Answered
      Received a letter in the mail for the business I am an Accountant at. Had I not of read it completely, I would have paid ******. Deceptive verbiage states "bobcatofic.com will expire on August 27, 2024. Act today!" Even if this IS a tactic to get you to switch services, the scammy way in which this is done is a huge red flag. No legitimate company would try and deceive their customers from the jump. These letters are formatted to look like an invoice or bill. They are worded carefully to imply your domain name is registered through their company and its time to renew your domain name. The bill has legitimate information on it like your domain name and the actual expire date of your domain. (Just like your contact information is public, your domain expire date is also public information. ) If you pay this, you are not just renewing your domain name, but are transferring it to this domain registrar and at a heft price. Renewing for 5 years will cost $265, that comes down to $53 a year! To compare, legitimate domain registrar companies like Namecheap offer domain registration services for under $15 year.

      So why aren't they shut down yet????I am new to my position in my organization and I placed an order based on a letter from IDNS that seemed as though they owned our domain. My fault for not finding the teeny print that says it is an offer only. I placed the order with a credit card and received an immediate email confirmation.I called to cancel when I realized my mistake - spoke to someone who was exceptionally rude, which in itself is not a business practice problem (just bad business), but then never gave me a confirmation # for cancellation and no email confirming my cancellation,I called back to ask why, and again he said very rudely " you don't get one. You called we told you it was cancelled." I asked again - so you send an email confirming the order but nothing to show I've cancelled?" he said "That's right." Clearly I now I have to watch my credit card bill. Two things: 1) We are obviously still in a buyer beware world - the letter was DEFINITELY not clear. 2) I would highly recommend not doing business with this company; I have zero trust that they canceled my order. I'm looking at a previous review from **************** below - same exact experience!! I'm heartened by it though; he said he did get his money back.
