Click To Register Domain...In THEIR Name!

Domain Supply System
I just got a message from Dan Johnson of Domain Supply System who is trying to sell domains he doesn't own. Or at least he may not own them when he sends you a message like the one he sent us below. About half of these offers that you get *unsolicited* are for domains that are being "tasted" or only registered for a short time in hopes of finding a sucker, I mean buyer that will pay between $50 and $2,000 or more for a good domain. At least they are telling the truth if they say the own the domain. Some don't own the domain at all but say they do, and others, like this one, don't say they OWN the domain, but are truthful about their intent to help you GET the domain. But THIS offer is a little different from others we have seen.

I first checked the domain and sure enough the domain was not registered. Then I looked at their site and saw their average price for domains was about $300, which is a nice profit for a $10 registration. Then I used the link in their email to see how much they were going to charge me for the domain name they are offering. When I noticed that the page took a while to load, I started to wonder why, and sure enough, the domain was now not available any longer, and was registered:

So, if I had wanted to register this domain, I would have to now wait the 4-5 days they are likely to wait before deleting the domain and getting a refund. They have to pay something like $0.20 as a fee and I'm sorry that I caused them to be charged that...

To their credit, the price they are asking was $99, with a special Christmas price of only $75. So as far as these kinds of services go they are not all that bad. But I have no idea about how they actually conduct their business, so if they have a domain and you really don't mind overpaying for it, check around to see if you can find other information about Domain Supply System and how they treat their customers.

================================================
The domain hdcmb.com <
http://www.domainsupplysystem.com/domaininfo.php?e=8857563&r=8847464> has recently become available for us so we are offering it to you, because you are the owner of its .org version.

Domain Supply System is intended to assist our clients with their promotion on the Internet. We use many methods to increase the effectiveness of a client's presence on the Web. Securing .com domains for anyone using another extension for their site is one of them.

There are several reasons why owning a .com is of great importance for any domain holder:

- It's in the essense of Internet: .com is most popular and widely used, and the typical user usually supposes that he/she will find you at hdcmb.com <
http://www.domainsupplysystem.com/domaininfo.php?e=8857563&r=8847464> . A lot of companies and organizations who use other extensions as primary (.net for Web services or private sites, .org for non-profit organizations etc.) are securing .coms not to lose the visitors who are seeking them there. With .com, you will be free to use both your .org and .com so you will only gain visitors.

- By owning the .com, you will be sure to stay #1 in your own name space.

If you are interested in this domain, please act quickly, as we soon intend to bring it to the auction where the acquisition cost will be higher than now.

Please use the link below to discover the current cost of the domain, read more about the advantages of owning a .com and get information on the details of the purchase and domain transfer procedure:
