We were notified by a recent client about an invoice from "Domain Register Pty Ltd", promising to sell the .com eqivalent of a .com.au domain. 

Please ignore any invoices from domainregister.com.au

This was posted around the time registration was due for a renew. Yes - posted. Via regular physical paper. 

This is a fairly subtle scam, the letter promising to sell the domain for $249 for 2 years, which is overpriced dramatically (our pricing is roughly $20.00 for 24 months). The client nearly paid - a user with minimal 'techy' knowledge or a busy worker could well be sucked into this paying the fee. 

We would like to warn customers against dealing with "Domain Register Pty Ltd", and registering the .com equivalent at a stupidly high price.

Contact us if you have any issues or wish to discuss further.
