Domain Registry of Canada - SCAM

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

As some one who has a few domain names I always get tired of those nice brown envelopes you get from the Domain Registry of Canada. They look so official with the same color envelope like the goverment uses.

When you open the envelope you find a letter with way to much text and that is how they play this game. They want you to believe your domain names is up for renewal (most times it is in a couple of months) and that you need to pay them.

And that is what is not true of course because you didn’t get your domain name registred at Domain Registry of Canada but somewhere else. And then they try to charge you way to much. $40 dollars for one year while for instance I pay $15 dollars now.

Please people when you recieve a letter from Domain Registry of Canada don’t even bother opening it just trow it out it is not worth your time to even open the envelope!

Citi Financial snail mail

I get them like every other week a letter from Citi Financial here on Centre street in Calgary. I got approved for a loan and I just have to come in to pick up the money.

The sad thing is I don’t want there money and really don’t care if they leave it at my doorstep.

I tried everything to get ride of this first I called the nr on the letter (twice) and that didn’t change anything. Then I called Citi Financial’s head office customer service and that didn’t change anthing. Then for a while I returned the letter witch is tricky because on the envelope they don’t even have the balls to write where it came from. And then the time before today I wrote them that next time I would stop by to visit them and yell at them.

So today a new letter arrived and fortunately for them I didn’t have the time to go there in person. So I called again asked for the manager and yelled at her on the phone and she wrote down my information and promised me that they would take care of it.

And let me tell you this if there is a next time (lets hope not) I will stop by personally and want them see them remove me from the system other wise I will not leave! (I guess I will have to bring my sleeping bag)

The funny thing is that by sending me this mail against my will and knowing that I don’t want it do they really think that I will ever trust them with my banking needs? If they can’t stop bugging me with there junk mail then what would happen if I have a cheque to deposit? I will not trust Citi Financial with my money not even if they are the last bank on earth.
