And yes, I got the snail mail letter from Liberty Names of America.

In September I read a post from a blogger who had received a letter from a lawyer from Domain Registry of America. It looks like more than one company is using these kind of techniques.

A search on Liberty Names of America says enough:

On the second spot there is a post of Jim Boykin: Many say Liberty Names of America are Scammers. He got the letter too, already in 2006. So I guess Liberty Names must be making money out of this scam.

It would be great if the top 10 results can be dominated with posts about the scam of Liberty Names of America. At this moment all but one are pages that talk about their scams. Only the first result is their own corporate website.

The Prices are unbelievable high. What about $25 for renewal of a domain? Sounds like a bargain…! Oh but wait a minute, in the letter the renewal costs are $29, and on the site it is $25. That is a difference of $4. If you react through the letter, you pay a 16% premium. I guess they have to make up the DM costs from somewhere.

So please link to Jim’s post, which is number two, with the keyword: Liberty names of America. Or you can link to:

Now we will have to wait where this post will come in the rankings.
