The company "DomianNamesNZ" is actually "Domain Names Australia Pty Limited" a Australian based company incorporated in Victoria. They also go by "Internet Registry Pty Limited" and "NetRegister" (Not NetRegistry). The address they're using, the ASB tower in Auckland is an internet bought mail forwarding address. They have also done mail-outs and fax-outs in Australia - http://www.auda.org.au/about/news/2003061903.html One thing interesting is that they have sent letters to customers of Internet Name Group (ING) who did a similar mail-out in NZ in a while back, the letters were filled with B.S and obviously asked they register renew domains with them.

Got one here as well, and what bothers me is that although the domain in question is registered under my own name, the letter was addressed to my company, which doesn't appear in whois data anywhere. Somebody's been trawling... -- Juha Saarinen _______________________________________________ Nznog mailing list Nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog

TelstraClear Routing?
by Steve Withers 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

I've been using a VPN to connect to work across the WIX for over a year - via a Paradise cable modem. I was seeing about 1mbps throughput, consistent with AT&T's Wellington Office (the actual people-at-desks office) United Networks connection to the WIX. A traceroute showed roughly 5-6 hops as I recall. Today....I can't get my VPN tunnel up at all and the traceroute shows 15 hops and my traffic is going to Auckland and off to Reach in HongKong...and then into AT&T's network there and then back again via Australia to NZ. Is anyone else seeing similar routing troubles? -- Steve Withers <swithers(a)mmp.org.nz>

I received one of these as well requesting i register my name with a .net (not .net.nz) extension - this may produce even more issues as this would be outside the control of the DNC. the listed address is 20, 135 Albert St in Auckland - I considered wandering into town to go and LART them in person.. my domain was only registered February of this year so they have managed to get a list of .nz names after this point. -- Steve.

DomainNamesNZ

I've been getting a few good old snail mail letters from Domainnamesnz.com offering me to register domain names. Eg: I own learnbydestroying.co.nz and the "offer" is for learnbydestroying.net . How ever since these letters include; Reference #, MPID ? , Closing Date, Credit card details, and very little info to conclude that this is a Renewal many people have inadvertently paid the money ( $237 for two years ! ) thinking it's a Domainz or other registrar invoice. I'm not questioning the legality of this , as I am no expert, how ever im interested to know how so many of my clients and myself ended up with these letters? Anyone else experienced these letters or perhaps had clients pay for what they thought was a valid renewal?

It's not an old one and they didn't get it from Domainz. One of the domains I got a note about was only registered a few months ago via Freeparking. As an aside, this will work on some people. My wife (who is not unclueful) was opening the mail, handed me the nonvoices and said "Bills from Domainz. Do you want me to pay them online?" People will read what they think they see, no matter how much clue you throw at them.
