I got a "bill" in the mail today (identical to the one below). I open it up and at first glance for one tiny split second I was like WTF? Then it immediately hit me that this is one bad-ass marketer.

A quick google reveals that shit-loads of retards are actually falling for this... Complete noobs fall prey to this because they panic that they will lose their domain.

Pure genius.

Here's a blog comment that made me spit my drink:

I just fell for the domain registry of canada scam. I have tried calling them repeatedly to switch it all back to my previous registrar but they keep telling me I have to wait 60 days before I can unlock my domain. I seem to be stuck. God only knows what happens in 60 days. They won't cancel it and give my money back even though its only been a couple of days...
