“DNS Ireland” Is A Scam

January 11, 2019

If you receive an email from “DNS Ireland” claiming to have received a request to register an alternate of your domain name, well, they haven’t; and they’re not obligated register it for 10 years either (at twice the normal price). DNS Ireland is not a real company, and Liam Doyle is not a real person.

If you would actually like to register an alternate of your domain, let us know and we’ll organise it for you, at a very reasonable annual price.

An example email, from one of our customers that was worried:

Dear Sir/Madam,

We have received a request for the registration of the website www.REDACTED.eu Our system shows that you are the owner of www.REDACTED.net. This can have far-reaching consequences for you in the future. We are therefore under the obligation to contact you, in order to offer you the first right of registration. This means that we will reject the application of the third party and the website:

www.REDACTED.eu

After agreement we will link this website to:

www.REDACTED.net

This means that you will have the first option on the domain name, in order to avoid possible future problems.

We are usually under the obligation to register the domain name and to protect it for a period of 10 years. The annual price for the .EU extension is € 19.95 per year. This means a one-off payment of € 199.50. When the link has been completed, all the Internet traffic that goes to the .EU extension, will be automatically linked to your current extension and website. This process will take a maximum of 24 hours. This domain name will then have a worldwide reach. The third party will be rejected and can no longer use your domain name.

Important information:
– You will receive a one-off invoice of € 199.50, exclusive of VAT, for a term of 10 years.
– This contract can be cancelled at all times after the first term of one year. The paid amount for the remaining number of years will be refunded to your account.

If you agree to our offer, please send an agreement by email within 48 hours after receipt of this email, stating your name, address and VAT number in a reply to this e-mail address.

The third party will subsequently be rejected by us, and we will then complete the link. You will receive a confirmation and all the information you need by email on the same day.

With kind regards,

Liam Doyle
