This scam works when the IT people aren't in charge of IT dollars and some knucklehead secretary decides to pay the bogus bill.   

Remember the toner cartridge scam run 10-15 years ago?

I just got an email saying one of my domains was about to expire soon. It

wants me to renew for one year from May 19, 2012 to May 19,2013 for $75.00.

First of all, I just registered a new domain for $75 for FIVE years. Why

would I give the scammer $75 for ONE year. Also I checked

http://www.whois.com/whois and the domain in question doesn't expire until

Sep 23, 2013. I use two domain registrars that I trust so far - Hover.com &

Easyhosting.com
