The outside had a nice logo that stated Liberty Names of America and below it said Personal and Confidential. It looked really official.I though I may have a problem with one of my names Trade Mark of something.

After opening it I found a letter telling me this domain I registered a year ago is almost due for renewal and they wanted me to renew it with them. The only problem is their prices.

$29.00 for 1 year, $49.00  for 2 years and I could get the .net .org, .info. and .biz for an extra 49.00 for 2 years.

These prices are horrible and no experienced domainer would ever renew with them but because it looks so official and looks like a bill I would guess that they get lots of people who own one domain and they renew it with them. After reading down in smaller print they say in bold "This notice is not a bill."

Their website is LNOA.com and they even send a return envelope to send your money in with. How convenient.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up and hopefully I will save some people some money one day.

Has anyone else received these letters? What do you think of their business plan?
