I have just recieved a phone call from a client who was most conserned that
his domain was not currently registered.

As it turned out, he revieved a fax from "Internet Name Protection" of Level
1, 222 St Kilda Road St. Kilda Vic 3182, stating that the domain
www.domainnamewithheld.com is unregistered!!! (exclamation marks theirs).

The fax states that they should secure the name immediately for 2 years &#167;
$250 4years &#167; $500 etc up to 10 years @$1000.

No where does it mention what the client currently owns
www.domainnamewitheld.com.au  and that www.domainnamewithheld.com is a
seperate issue.

I thing this is unfare scare tactics and a pricing structure which is
exorbatant to catch the unwary.

If anyone is interested in viewing the fax I can fax it to them.
