i received this professional piece of mail this week. it looks real. so i opened it.
very authentic looking invoice. so i put it into the "to be paid file" for later. it is a $65 charge for hosting our store's website. so i started to write the check. wait just a minute. i pay another service on a monthly basis to host the website. so i looked a little closer. sure enough. see that bottom sentence. it's a solicitation. pretty deceitful i'd say. i wonder just how many checks they cash for $65.00? many, i'm afraid.

That's just not right! I wonder how they can get away with it, let alone to go sleep at night with a clear conscience knowing they're sending these out to who knows how many people who will not read the fine print and write the check anyway! Good catch, Joyce!
Good for you for shaming dns services! I am not a business owner, but get the same type of stuff all the time.
This scam doesn't just happen to business owners. It happens with property and credit card holders, too. I know because I've nearly fallen for the scam.
Joyce it is for sure one must read all of the mail these days. I do not like mailings like these. very wrong!1 patty
