Who’s Behind the Domain Networks Snail Mail Scam?
Summary: KrebsOnSecurity traced the DomainNetworks snail mail scam, which sends letters designed to look like bills for domain services, to a network of entities including US Domain Authority LLC, thedomainsvault.com, and a Las Vegas SEO firm called United Business Service. The trail led through a Houzz account under the name "Sammy\Sam_Alon" and a WHMCS account registered to Shmuel Orit Alon of Kidron, Israel, while the Better Business Bureau gives DomainNetworks an "F" rating with more than 100 reviews.
Key Takeaway: Krebs notes that these phony invoices often get paid by administrative personnel who assume the charge was owed, and a 2018 Krebs investigation found dozens of cities, towns, school districts, and political campaigns had already been snookered by a similar scam called WebListings Inc.
