Internet Domain Name Services (IDNS) Reports & Reviews (106)

- Norristown, PA, USA

I occasionally receive mailings from iDNS that have the appearance of an invoice for services, while they are officially just a courtesy offer of (overpriced) services. I have never sent them money, but I'm sick of their mail filling up my PO box.

- Republic, MO, USA

Received a bill in the mail from iDNA stating I needed to renew by domain name registration, which was set up with GODADDY. There was nothing on the bill stating GODADDY. There was no contact phone number. I contacted GODADDY support and they said it was not from them and that it was a scam. I looked iDNS website up and found a phone number, call the number by couldn't get to speak to anyone live. To others......don't pay this bill, it is a scam.

- Northfield, VT, USA

We received an invoice from this company saying that our internet domain service was expiring and if we wanted to keep our webpage, we needed to send payment. We did so, and the service hasn't been provided.

Was sent mail from iDNS saying "Your registration for ***.com will expire on June 18, 2018- ACT TODAY!"

We sent in a check by mail, it was cashed and then our server went down. We called and spoke with a guy who said his name was KEVIN SMITH...hmmmm. He was INCREDIBLY rude. Called us names and did not offer to officially transfer our services- which is what we apparently paid for. He definitely got us this time. Hoping we can warn others.

Received a very authentic-looking statement in the mail notifying us of our "Domain Name Expiration". They warned that if we did not pay, we could lose the rights to our company website page.

- Morrisville, NC, USA

Received a letter to renew our business domain name. They look legitimate and have the correct expiration date. They make it look as though they are the company you are already dealing with, but they aren't.

- Whitestone, NY, USA

We received a fraud notice from our Credit Card, with IDNSinc as the reported vendor. We verified that this company does not manage our domain name, & immediately disputed the charge. I called IDNSinc, thinking they would gladly provide assistance in resolving this-but no. The rep was incredibly rude, would not provide assistance and hung up telling me I don't know what I'm talking about, and called me stupid, when I told him they definitely don't manage our domain. They somehow got a hold of our CC# and made a charge. I checked reviews and they all mirror our complaint.

- San Francisco, CA, USA

Received invoice in mail notifying me that I would lose my domain if I didn't pay money. Immediately thought this was fake because *** sends emails when they need to and I'm on automatic renewal so I don't have to worry about things like this. That being said, I could completely understand someone thinking this invoice was legit. Shame on IDNS!

- West Jordan, UT, USA

My business received a very deceiving letter from iDNS saying that my company's domain name will expire and it mislead me to almost pay them four times as much for a domain name registration. The letter also mislead me to think I had to act by May 28, 2018 when my registration isn't due for a few months. The letter requested between $45 - $180 to renew the domain name depending on how many years you want to pay for. It also claims that failure to do so will make it difficult for others to find the website because if you don't renew your domain, your website will obviously not appear on the internet anymore. When researching their website, the domain changes from www.idns.ac to www.idns.to. If I am not mistaken, the .ac pertains to Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha and the .to pertains to Tonga. However, this company is based in New Jersey. Why do they need domains in these countries? All of these factors led me to believe that this is a scam and I am very upset and I hope that action is taken against them so that more people are not tricked by iDNS. If you have any additional questions about this scam, please feel free to contact me.

I am a web developer and I have all my domains for about 1/10 of what these clowns are asking. Normally I would disregard, but they contacted one of my customers an older woman and told her to pay this bill, so she did, when I told her it was a scam she was very upset. I explained from now on when you get anything related to the web site and it is not from me you can disregard but they got her once and did nothing!!! These people need to stop!!!!!! They are hurting real legit business'

- West Monroe, NY, USA

I received an invoice from iDNS saying my domain name was about to expire and I needed to renew by the end of April. I fell for it and they charged my credit card $45. They sent an email saying I needed to get a transfer code from my current website host to complete the registration. That's when I started questioning the legitimacy of the invoice, which doesn't clearly state that they're trying to get you to change from your hosting service to theirs. I've contacted them to request a refund but haven't heard anything yet.

We received an invoice for a domain name that we have, stating that it is about to expire. The domain name is already administered by a different organization. In the invoice, it states "This notice is not a bill, it is rather an easy means of payment should you decide to switch your domain name registration to Internet Domain Name Services." It is easy for this type of invoice to get lost in the shuffle, so take extra caution when you receive these types of invoices.

Received a notice in the mail that we needed to renew our business domain and requesting payment. Invoice looks very legitimate. Had it not have been put on my desk for review. It likely would have been paid or one of our staff would have gone to the website to pay the fee.

- Aquilla, TX, USA

Sent an invoice from this company saying that my internet domain name was expired and to pay $80.

- Rio Rancho, NM, USA

I use *** for my website, I received this letter stating that my website had been changed to IDNS and I owed them 80.00. They charged my credit card on 1-2-17. When I received a charge from *** to renew for 2 years they said they have nothing to do with IDNS. I then discovered that I was scammed. I looked up this business online and discovered that others had been scammed as well.

- Melville, NY, USA

Received a domain name expiration notice...when I called to inquire, I was met by a very hostile person who couldn't shed any light on my concerns other than telling me to "read the letter." When I asked to speak with a supervisor, I was met with more unprofessionalism. There are 54 negative reviews stating a similar message to mine...

- Henderson, NV, USA

FRAUD WARNING - Again, (seems monthly now) I received a physical postal mail from iDNS, a company that tricks you into thinking your domain is expiring and enticing you to pay for transfer of your domain to their ownership. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS ! Throw it away! Go to Whois.com/whois to check the real expiration date and information about where your domain is registered. In our case, the domains are still under our control....and if we were to renew then, it would usually cost about 16.00. Not $45 per year as this fake invoice from iDNS states.

- Parsonsburg, MD, USA

This company scrapes ICANN for the registrants names & addresses of various Internet Domains, then sends a USPS Direct Mail that appears to be an invoice. They are phishing for the uninitiated to actually pay the bill, at which point they actually TRANSFER the domain elsewhere. This scam is very similar in operation to the Telephone Slamming of years ago. No matter how much 2 pt weasel word type they use in the direct mail piece they send to a recipient ... it's a SCAM.

- North Hollywood, CA, USA

I receive a letter stating my domain name is about to expire...they needed a payment right away.... So I paid $295.00... Then I received an email stating the same... I called them to say I just paid. They said they don't know who IDNS is and they have not forward the payment... So I called IDNS a rude man....(check their review...all negative) answered screaming at me telling me to go call my lawyer... and hung up.

Network Solutions the company we used said IDNS is a scammer company that gets people like me to send in our payments and then......,,,,,Nothing.

I need to get my $180.00 back so I can then forward to the proper company

On December 15, 2017, our company received a "Domain Name Expiration Notice" from IDNS (Internet Domain Name Services). Invoicing with credit card number and information request for 1, 2 or 5 years. This invoice states the registration for our company will expire on April 18, 2018 and we need to Act Today!

Out domain is issued through our I.T. company that services our network and computers. We've never heard of IDNS and have had no prior dealings with them. Our I.T. personnel said this is gorilla marketing / scam.
