So I got a rather interesting letter in the mail today, from an ‘iDNS’. I assumed it would be another thing from a random company thinking I’m making money with my website. *facepalm*
But this one, had a warning. A warning that my website will expire “in the next two months” if I don’t move it over to these people, for $45/yr). AFAiK, Arvixe offers free domain parking. So, why should I, if ever, move my domain over to them?
I don’t know if I should be paranoid, or… it’s just, I’ve never gotten anything like this in the life of owning a domain. So I tried to contact Arvixe. And they..they didn’t really seem to give a fuck. Sure, they tell me that yes, the domain is free and I should not be getting an invoice. So…why am I?!
I wanted the rep to do research on this ‘iDNS’, but all they did was repeat and said to “please ignore those letters”. I could had fucking told myself this!!
So I threw the letter away. Still don’t know why I got this. My only guess is this was a scam. Even the website they provide (no telephone number by the way) screams ‘scam’. It’s a ‘www.idns.ac’ website. If you would like to help me do research on this, feel free to drop me an email of your results. And thank you in advance.
