Nominet warns of rogue domain name seller
July 2004
Nominet UK, the national registry for .uk
domain names, is warning domain name holders to
beware of a company sending out false invoices.
The company, which calls itself Domain Registry
Services (DRS), is sending out a 'Notice of
Expiration' to owners of .com, .uk and .org names,
warning that their domains are due for renewal and
will cost £60 to re-register.
"The notice states that the registrant stands to
lose their domain name unless the invoice is
settled," said Nominet in a statement.
"The sums being demanded are many times what
Nominet would charge a registration agent [seller
of domain names] for registering a .uk domain
name."
