The Domain
Registry of America has recently sent out a countless number of letters
and emails in a campaign to get you to switch to their domain registry
service by using language that suggests that your domain will expire,
and that in order to prevent losing it, you must register with their
company. The email is disingenuous at best and fraud at its worst. In
2003, the Federal Trade Commission slammed the DRoA
for masking domain registrations under the guise of domain renewals,
commonly known as "domain slamming," and having hidden fees attached to
their services.
The company's exploits go as far back as 2001,
where they were originally known as the "Domain Registry of Europe."
The DRoA's lies are as exorbitant as their domain registration fees,
which range from $25 for one year and $40 for two years when most
competitors are around $8 per year. Perhaps the most unethical practice
of the DRoA is that if you register a domain with them, they own the
domain, not you, which means that if your website becomes successful at
any point in its future that they could hold your identity ransom.
With
the economy struggling to recuperate and people losing their jobs,
expect scams such as this, which stand on the border of legality and
fraud, to be more prevalent across the internet. If you receive emails,
phone calls, or letters from the DRoA stating that your domain is
expiring and that you must renew, do not respond to them and warn your
friends. If your domain is going to expire, your webhost or the website
you have registered your domain with (enom, register.com, etc) should
contact you. Do not be alarmed if the notice from the DRoA looks like a
bill; it's all an attempt to scare you into registering with them.

According
to the FTC, the company told consumers that their domain registrations
were expiring, leading many consumers unwittingly to switch their
domain name registrar. The company also allegedly did not disclose that
it would charge a processing fee to consumers if their transfer request
was not competed for any reason and failed to provide consumers refunds
in a timely manner. Under the terms of the stipulated final order
announced today, Domain Registry of America (DROA), based in Ontario,
Canada, may be required to provide redress to up to 50,000 consumers,
is prohibited from engaging in similar conduct in the future, and is
subject to stringent monitoring by the Commission to ensure its
compliance with the court order.

[this style of promotion] are otherwise permanently restrained and
enjoined from failing to comply with 166 of the TILA or 226.12(e) of
