A number of our clients have been contacted by a UK company stating that “another person is trying to register an alternative version of your domain name”. They will present you with an offer to register that domain name first at an extortionate price to “prevent the other person from taking your domain name”. They will  give you a short time limit,  to decide whether you want to register the name and prevent someone else from taking it.The third party allegedly about to register the other version of your  domain name rarely, if ever, exist.

Our advice is not to register any domain names with any company making such a claim. If you feel the domain name is of value to you, register the domain name online with us or another reputable registrar at much lower prices. If you would like to read more about Domain name scams click here.
