We have received a number of calls this week related to a new domain scam.
While most domain scams are related to .com domains, this recent one is targetting owners of IE domains only.
The caller, who identifies himself as “Steve” and gave a Dublin number, claims to be from the IEDR or possibly “the domain registry”.
If you are contacted by anyone claiming from to be from the “registry” DO NOT give them your credit card details.
