Patrick Hi,

I wonder if this is Domain Registry Of America operating under a new name after being shut down by the FTC.

Excerpt: “According to the FTC, the company told consumers that their domain registrations were expiring, leading many consumers unwittingly to switch their domain name registrar. The company also allegedly did not disclose that it would charge a processing fee to consumers if their transfer request was not competed – for any reason…”

It’s deja vu all over again.
