Domain Name Registration Warning 19 Sep 2002
If you have a .com.au domain name you may have recently received a letter from "NetRegister" about Internet Name Group going out of business. This letter contains statements that are inaccurate and may mislead you.

Adam Internet has received advice from the CEO of auDA (the internet domain name regulator) warning us to ensure that our customers do not, due to the inaccurate statements, pay money to NetRegister or renew their domain name through them.

Net Register is a business name registered to Internet Registry Pty Ltd and this company has been the subject of a previous auDA Consumer Alert.

Net Register and Internet Registry Pty Ltd have no connection whatsoever with auDA accredited registrar Net Registry Pty Ltd.

In auDA's view, the "NetRegister" letter may mislead people into believing that they are in danger of losing their domain name.
This is NOT TRUE.

1. If you were not a customer of Internet Name Group...

The information contained in the letter is of no relevance to you and you should discard it.

2. If you were a customer of Internet Name Group...

You should read "Internet Name Group - Information for Domain Name Registrants" on auDA's website.

If you are unsure, please call Adam Internet on 8231 0303 for advice.
