Got an invoice from DomainRegister (domainregister.com.au) for the renewal of a domain. On closer inspection it was the .com version and not the .com.au one that we use. The dogs wanted 250 bucks to register the domain for 2 years. A quick whois cleared any uncertainty. It is available for 8 bucks elsewhere. Not a bad profit margin. I also hear more scummy actions[^]on the interwebs about these elephants.

At least you would be getting somethign for your money, if not a lot. I seem to remember (and I can't find a link anywhere) that there was a company in the US in the 1990s that was sending companies invoices for the cost of invoicing them, and charging $100 or so per time. IIRC they were getting about 50% of these paid, once they contacted the accounts dept a month later to ask where the payment was! :laugh:

The President of our organisation was wanting to pay this. I told him to wait until after the due date and if our web site was still working he could give me the cash!

I bet you don't get it! :laugh: Perhaps you should send him an invoice for saving him money? ;)

A scam for internet services? In the future, I think I'll be more cautious about how I use the internet. Ecclesiastical Review (i.e., Nothing New Under the Sun): Many a year ago, I received (at my company-at-the-time address) what looked like a bill for magazine subscriptions. They weren't going to be paid in any case, but it required some close inspection and much reading to find where it disclosed that this very bill-like item was, in fact, an application for new subscriptions to worthless magazines. Has the Sleaze Corp run out of ideas as badly as the movie industry. What entertainment is left to us?

False invoice scams are still disgustingly common because it takes so long for the courts to get around to stomping on the scumbags. Ken White at Popehat's been collecting data on one of them since 2010, and the sunshines have only just started getting cease and desist orders from a few state Attorney Generals late last year. http://www.popehat.com/2012/09/19/anatomy-of-a-scam-investigation-chapter-thirteen/[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
