Scam alert! We have been receiving E-mail like this for years now. We’ve covered this domain scam before. The’ve changed the e-mails and websites slightly and they keep changing the urls. These e-mails are being spammed to every domain owner months before their domain expires. The subject, the heading and text suggest you must pay a.s.a.p. to prevent the domain name from expiring! If you read the small print below (and many people won’t fully understand the used technical terms) the message states that they don’t renew your domain but that this is an ‘offer’ for “SEO services” (Search Engine Optimization services) which will expire on the given dates… The links lead to a payment page (see screenshot below). So this has NOTHING to do with your domain registration!
It is very doubtful that this is a real SEO service. You most likely won’t get any service. The fact that these very misleading spam messages are been auto generated using details from the whois (domain owners) database to spam domain owners makes this “Domain SEO Service” company at least very questionable. They claim to be a company based in Miami Beach, Florida, US, but the owners of the used domains are based in China (see the owner details below). The fact that they mention following the guidelines of the CAN-SPAM act of 2003 and include an unsubscribe link at the bottom does NOT mean this wasn’t illegally spammed!
These kind of misleading ‘domain expiration’ (spam) alerts have been used by many other scammers for years now. It’s a domainname scam! Trying to trick domain owners to pay before their domain expires…
If you’ve received this by e-mail than mark it as SPAM (if possible) and/or DELETE it. You could also report all abuse contacts as described below to have them shut down their sites. Do NOT click the ‘unsubscribe’ link because this leads to a page asking for your e-mail address and they most likely spam you even more (NEVER send your e-mail address to spammers!) If you have more information about this scam comment below.
This is the landing page which will be automatically generated for your domain and expiration date:
