SCAM ALERT

Some of you may remember this, but the "Domain Renewal Group" are sending out their scam letters once again...

If you get a letter headed "Domain Renewal Group" or "Domain Renewal Services"either bin it or shred it - but do NOT reply to it - giving these people your credit card details will enable them to empty empty your account. (I got one this morning - hence this alert)

There is information on this scam available here:-

Here is a sample photo of the scam letter you might receive:-

If you feel the need to take action then it is best to report the scam to the Royal Mail - who had to deal with the same scam last year FROM THE SAME ADDRESS (56, Gloucester Road, Suite 256, London). So I am sure they would be interested to find that the scammers have started up again at the same address.

The actual address in Gloucester Road is run by a company that basically is just a repository for mailboxes (which they call "suites") and they are not in the slightest bit interested that scammers are using their mailboxes.

So there you have it - if you get one of these, the people behind it intend to empty your card or bank account if you give them your details. You have been warned!

Stay Safe
