Welcome to domainscams.co.uk
What is the purpose of DomainScams.co.uk?
I run this website on a voluntary basis (i.e. I don't get paid) in my spare time. I somehow fit it in between running a busy web development studio and having an active family life. Why? Because I detest the criminals that prey upon the general Internet ignorance of many business owners and scare them into paying out for something they don't need. This website is well indexed in the search engines, and many people have found it and saved themselves from being scammed just in time. Others are not so lucky, but here they can find help, advice and support. Individually we can do little, but together we can achieve much. Once the number of website users has grown sufficiently, and we have enough data (it grows all the time - my inbox is full), then we can ably assist the police and trading standards in ensuring these scumbags are brought to justice.
This website was set up mainly to cater for UK based scammers, but we do also list scammers in other parts of the world (notably China) where the scammers are targetting UK based businesses. There is little we can do about scammers in China, but hosting information about them here will help others avoid being scammed.
Your comments are highly valued, but please bear with me as I have to sort through a lot of emails and that does take time. If the scammer is already listed on the site, you can register an account and post a comment directly on their page.
Regards,
David
- International & UK domains are registered instantly - no other company is informed of the registration and no-one can intervene with the registration process
- International (.com .net .org) domains can be registered for 1 - 10 years, whereas UK (.co.uk .org.uk .ltd.uk .plc.uk .me.uk) domains are registered and renewed at 2 year intervals - it is not possible to register a UK domain for anything more or less than 2 years
- Domain names can be registered cheaply, quickly and easily online, you do not necessarily need an agent to register for you
- Companies that sell domain names by telesales are almost always scammers
- A registration company is not obliged to check trademarks and company names before agreeing to register any domain - this is the registrant's responsibility
- Owning a trademark or company name does not automatically entitle you to the matching domain names
- It is not possible to "earmark" or reserve a domain name
- DON'T send money to companies you have never heard from before without first checking them out
- No genuine company would take an order and credit card details from a prospective customer for some domain names and then ring around the competition to see if they want to buy them first
Know of a scammer not listed here? Please email website at domainscams.co.uk and let us know. We will research the company and add it to the list if appropriate. We cannot just add any company without some evidence, or testimony from several different people to confirm that they are in fact scamming.
