I received the following fradulent email from web.com this morning:

Dear(My name here):

We are experiencing difficulty processing your credit card payment for the domain(s) and invoice(s) noted below.

Domain

Invoice # Invoice date Invoice amount

$18.95

Card #:(No credit card info was here since I have never done business with them.)

Exp Date: 0915 (None of my credit cards have this expiration date.)

We were unable to process this card for the following reason:

We want to continue to support your Web hosting needs. To do so, we'll need you to provide an alternate method of payment so we can continue hosting your Web site.

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.

This turns out to be a misunderstanding.

AUTHOR: Harry Callahan - (United States of America)

POSTED: 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.
