For those of you who have recently registered a domain name, you should know there is a scam going around locally. About a month or two after you've registered the name, you will receive a letter in the mail, which looks like a bill. It will be for "domain management services" or "domain registration services" or "web submission services" or something like that (there are a few companies doing it). The "bill" will be for $50 to $75 and will be for things you can do yourself for FREE, like search engine submission, site monitoring, etc.
First, it is NOT a bill. It is a "clever" way to make you think it's a bill, but if you read the fine print, it will say it is an offer.
Second, it is a SCAM. Either they won't do what they say they will and will just pocket your money (and there's NO WAY to prove if they did or didn't do it) OR they will just go to one of a thousand FREE search engine submission sites, enter in your URL and hit Submit (all in under 60 seconds).
Please, please, do not fall for these scams. I hate to see people being taken advantage of, especially when it relates to my field of work.
