I use 1&1 and Netfirms to host my web sites and I have NEVER had any business relationship with web.com EVER. I contacted both 1&1 and Netfirms and they both said that this email was fradulent. I completed a report to my local police computer crime unit, my state police wire fraud unit, the ICCC fraud unit and the FBI computer crime unit. These guys are bad news and should be avoided at all costs.

#1 Author of original report
This turns out to be a misunderstanding.
AUTHOR: Harry Callahan - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, February 04, 2011
We did have contact with Web.com in 2009 when my wife was in the process of transferring a domain name from web.com to another web hosting service. After that process was complete, we throught that our relationship with web.com was finished. It turns out, however the process of cancelling the hosting agreement with web.com was never fully completed due to a misunderstanding on both of our parts.
I received a phone call today from a representative of web.com and we determined that this was not an attempt to defraud anyone on any level and web.com has now closed the books on this account after mutual agreement between them and us.
