A scam to avoid: Do you have a club website? We receive several of these bill-like solicitations every year. This is a total rip-off and the scumbags profiting off of this should be, well, don't get me started. Basically, they send these very official looking statements for Domain Registration. They are just hoping you don't look too closely at their text (the part I have put a red rectangle around). They have nothing at all to do with keeping your website registered. Don't fall for it.

There are many registration scams out there, and they started a long time ago. I am astonished, and incredibly disappointed with governments, for not shutting these down.
45 years ago, at the company I worked for, I was asked to approve a bill for $40 for something called Business Registry. We had paid it for years. When I checked into it (much more difficult without internet), it was a scam.
Scams are really proliferating here in Canada. The police are not interested. We do have an Ontario government telephone line to report scams. I called to report a very realistic scam about a year ago. I get a message something like this: "We are unable to answer your call due to a high volume of calls. Please do not leave any confidential information on our line because our phone system has been hacked. Report scams only if you have lost money." Very sad...
Surely, the telephone systems can also track many of the fraudulent calls.

While this post has been redirected to Stover Huggers, understand that this IS Studebaker related. The "bills" we receive from this company AND others like it come to us because of our SDC Chapter's website. I redacted the information on it because I also posted this photo on a more general, car-club Facebook page.Comment
