The Domain Registry of Canada is a nasty, no good, horrible awful domain slammer!

Wikipedia defines domain slamming as a scam where an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or domain name registrar sends materials to domain owners which attempts to trick them into switching ISPs / domain name registrars under the pretense that the customer is simply renewing their existing services.

How the scam works is that people receive a letter in the mail… a letter that looks very official and legitimate (view the PDF)… informing them that their domain is set to expire and they need to transfer and renew it now before they lose it forever.  These people have nothing to do with Blue Pixel Design or with your domain.  They are just another registrar trying to trick you into transferring your domain over to them at almost quadruple the price!

If you receive a notice from The Domain Registry of Canada (or another registration company) please just tear it up.  If you're unsure, send us an email and we can double check on your domain for you.
