"If you’ve ever owned a domain name, the chances are good that at some point you’ve received a snail mail letter which appears to be a bill for a domain or website-related services. In reality, these misleading missives try to trick people into paying for useless services they never ordered, don’t need, and probably will never receive. Here’s a look at the most recent incarnation of this scam — #DomainNetworks — and some clues about who may be behind it."

This was more fun than I thought I'd have reporting it out.

Unfortunately this is just a common scam targeting businesses more than individuals. It's more likely to get in front of someone processing bills at a company that has no idea what goes on.

Another form of mail scam targeting businesses is scammers mailing fake "government official" looking letters asking you to pay up for OSHA posters or Department of State copies of your incorporation and other nonsense. It's ridiculous how its not cracked down upon.

I'll see if I can dig up any photos of the letters. At least in NYS, the moment you incorporate an LLC, you get targeted because the state publishes the incorporations somewhere. I don't have said LLC anymore unfortunately otherwise I would still be receiving said scam mail.
