Just wanted to warn everyone not to fall for the sleazy practices of domain slammers.

There are several domain registration companies that send out letters that LOOK LIKE A BILL to domain owners warning them that their domain is coming up for renewal.

Many times these letters automatically get routed to the Accounts Payable department. If Accounts Payable is not aware of these domain slammers, your AP people can "pay the bill" which will end up in transferring your domain to the slammers for a highly inflated price.

To help prevent getting slammed, do the following:
1. Alert your Accounts Payable about domain slamming companies
2. Enable the registry lock on your domain
3. Only reply to letters/emails from YOUR registrar
4. If you are unsure of who your registrar is, you can look up your domain using a WHOIS tool - unless you opted to use private registration when you registered your domain. (WHOIS on my site, WHOIS through Network-Tools.com)

Since I am a registrar, I do not want to appear to be singling out any one registrar, so I won't list the names here, but you can find out more by Googling domain slammers.

Some companies have had their hands slapped for their practices, but letters are still being sent that look like a bill. What inspired me to write this tip is that I got 3 of them this week from 2 different companies. Our AP department (at my day job) forwarded them to me saying "Is this ok to pay?"

So be sure and watch out!

Depending on the policies of this forum, you might be able to build the list of slammers to watch out for.

Thank for the information . My domain is from a forum , this is a free domain . I don't know will this happen to me or not . but is better prevent first before the incident happen !

Domain slamming can only happen to the person who owns the domain. Where yours is a free forum on someone's domain, they'd have to be the ones to watch out for it. They are also probably experienced enough to know about it.

Much of the time the domain slammers primarily catch people new to the domain registering process.

My one is a free domain , and the person given to me is a nice guy .
I believe that he won't do this kind of thing on me , I will very careful on this domain slammers .
If they steal my domain , i will spam their website until they return my domain .

Nice information for webmasters i know many companies fraud about your domain.When you use make a website and use a domain if the website willl popular then they w;nt give you back your domain names.

That is really terrible, should come out rules to protect internet user, right?
Should go for a good company for the registration. Yahoo is doing offer now.

is it applicable for dynadot registrars.

I don't think so. Might only be in the US and maybe the UK - total speculation on that though. (just thinking about postage costs)

Thanks for warning about domain slammers.
