A while back again, we warned for scammers : you get a phone call in which you get a "one-off" chance to register your company name as .com and / or .eu for a lot of money. In retrospect, at outrageously high rates. Also current emails or letters to extend your domain, which actually involves a move to a provider.
Now there was a story about a fake lawyer who wrote threatening letters to owners of domain names calling for the domain name to be transferred within 48 hours, yes that is a bit of a shock. Because it can happen that a large company contacts you because you have a domain that resembles one of their trade names.
What can we learn from this?
- First of all quietly. If someone contacts you, take some time to think. In the above cases, something goes wrong when you go directly to the offer or requirement.
- If a domain name needs to be registered quickly, do it with your own hosting provider. You do not pay much and you will not face any surprises.
- Identify the identity of the contact person. You often see through Google what kind of meat you have in the tub.
- If necessary, contact your advisor (or give us a call, we are there for you).
If you have experience with the above issues, I am curious about your story and tips
