Scammers are getting more and more creative these days.
I got an email today saying I received an invoice from baneno.com for $53
the email seems to be referring to renewal. So i checked out the name and realized that i still owned it.
It is due to be renewed today..but Godaddy doesn't send me invoices to pay stuff and i do not have it on auto renew and i also never pay $53 for any renewal.
Here's some screenshots of email:
If you look in the note are at the bottom..... You'll see that they mistakenly have another name listed called thincthanc.com
I canceled this invoice.....
but at a lower price..... average internet users would pay this fee like it's nothing.
I remember a friend of mine said they paid $60+ to renew a name and i was confused because it wasn't for a number of years and it was a basic renewal at godaddy.
Now i'm wondering if they got scammed.
All my names are on manual renewal....
Here's the paypal bill intro...
