"Domain registry of Canada" --- watch out for these scammers
Fellow Canukistanis and Canuckleheads..... beware. I know this has been mentioned elsewhere and on the news in past years, but I'm reminding everyone now..... if you get any "invoices" from Domain Registry of Canada, toss them in the shithole and burn them, then flush the ashes down the toilet... and remember to flush twice. I got 4 of them today. That's a lot of flushing.
They send you this official-looking invoice, it explains to you that your domian is about to expire in a few months, and they tell you that your existing registrar may lock your domains thus not allowing you to renew your lease on said domain. Buried somewhere in all that gibberish is the line "this is not an invoice"..... yea? then why the fuck does it look like one? Assholes.
They give you prices on renewal which are far in excess of what you are probably paying now. I paid $70 USD for 5 years on most of my recent domain purchases, but these assclowns want $160 Cdn for 5 years. Whatever..... the point is that it looks like a bill, it talks like a bill, it acts like a bill........ but it isn't a bill. Don't fucking pay it.
Thank you, have a nice day.
