Beware of Bido's "real country domain" Auction

[Toni]

I almost clicked buy it now on Phillippines.biz before I realized the 2nd L, Briitain.com was more obvious.

Not cool to tout these via newsletter IMO...

Tsk. Full disclosure would be more than appropriate here.

Briitain is too obvious I expect no bids for this one but phillippines might get a bid or two, they almost got me and I have a very strong philippines connection and see the correct spelling at least once a day LOL

Especially when they say "This is an opportunity to own a real country domain"

We need to get Bido to clarify. I had made such mistakes in the past when I placed a bid on a domain which was a typo. I had to ask them to retract as it was not made clear in the seller's description. But anyway hope the auction goes well.
