Sorry for the off topic post. I was just wondering about this. Yesterday one of my clients was phoned by someone who said that they were form a domain name registration company and that someone had tried to buy a domain off them that was very similar to my clients. They were phoning to offer the domain to my client to stop the other party getting it. They couldn't say anything about the other except that they were from the same area as my client. This would cost �100 a year or �200 for 10 years.
My clients phoned me up so I phoned and was told that they do this because they are sick of angry people phoning up saying that their domain name had been registered. I simply registered the domain in question for �12 at UK2.net. I can see a few problems with this. Surely if this person trying to register the domain had to wait like that they would register it somewhere else (for a lot less than �100). Secondly this registration company is actually spending time and money offering the domain to someone else when they already have a buyer - it seems like madness. This must be a con. Anyone else had anything similar to this?
