.ie Internet Registry Scam

Via DomainNews.com.

It has once again come to the attention of the IEDR that a company operating under the name "Internet Register Ireland" is contacting businesses with registered .ie domain names by post and by fax, soliciting domain holders to register their domain name with the "Internet Register Ireland".

The "Internet Register Ireland" will request you to fill out their form and return it to them signed. It should be noted that they charge an excessive fee of approx €958 for the registration of your domain name in their database. The “Internet Register Ireland” previously operated the same practice in Ireland in September 2007 and November 2006 and have been operating similar schemes throughout Europe and Canada throughout the past year.
