As a business owner or manager, it’s important to be aware of potential scams that could affect your company’s finances. Unfortunately, there are a number of organizations that are not quite on the up-and-up that target businesses in an attempt to deceive them into paying for services or products that they don’t need or that aren’t even provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One such scam that has been making the rounds for years is being pushed by a number of companies. Some of these companies include: “Domain Networks” (domainnetworks. com), “Domain Registry” (giv. com) and “United States Domain Authority” (usdomainauthority. com). NOTE: DO NOT VISIT THESE SITES! – THEY ARE ADDED HERE JUST FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These companies have been sending out mailings, bills, and invoices to businesses, claiming that they need to pay for services such as website domain registration or domain name renewal. However, these services are not actually needed, and in many cases, the domains in question are already registered and don’t need to be renewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s important to note that these companies are not affiliated with any legitimate domain registration or website hosting company. They’re not really authorized to charge businesses for these services. Furthermore, they are not affiliated with any government agency, despite names like “United States Domain Authority.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you or your company received any mailings, bills, or invoices from “Domain Networks”, “Domain Registry” or “United States Domain Authority”, it is important that you disregard them and do not pay any money to these companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In summary, “Domain Networks”, “Domain Registry” or “United States Domain Authority” aren’t quite companies that are on the up-and-up, and their mailings, bills, and invoices should be disregarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have received any correspondence from these companies, do not pay any money to them and go ahead and recycle or shred the papers that you received from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s always better to be safe than sorry, and by taking the necessary precautions, you can help protect your business from falling victim to this scam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As a business owner or manager, it’s important to be aware of potential scams that could affect your company’s finances.
