El Indio Botanas y Cerveza

4.4 575 reviews

DomainNetworks is a company that sends misleading mailers that appear to be invoices for domain or website-related services. These mailers try to trick people into paying for unnecessary services they never ordered. The company behind this scam is likely trying to generate revenue from unsuspecting individuals who receive the mailers and may not be aware that they did not request the services. DomainNetworks is not a legitimate business, but rather a scheme that takes advantage of people who own domain names. The company sends official-looking "invoices" for $228 directory listings that mimic domain renewal bills. This is a form of solicitation that is technically legal but can be confusing and deceptive to recipients. DomainNetworks is not the only company of its kind, as there are other similar scams, such as Domain Listings LLC, which has 89 complaints in three years from recipients who felt deceived by mailers that say "this is not a bill" only in small print. Elendi Ltd is another company that has been linked to this type of scam, although it appears to be a legitimate business that offers coaching and mentorship services.
