Domain scams to be aware of

If you own a domain name, you need to be aware that someone will try to take advantage of that. One common domain name scam is getting a letter in your mailbox explaining how your domain name's about to expire and you need to follow the process outlined before you lose it. One way to prevent this is by applying whoisprivacy to your domain. Most registrars offer a service like that. For a small fee (most reliable registrars will even do it for free) your registrar will then not make your registration info available to the world through the whois records for your domain. Instead they will display their info instead of yours.
