Small business owners need to be aware of a new round of scam letters, e-mails and faxes relating to website domain registrations.

Clark recently took a call from an entrepreneur who received a domain name expiration notice for a site she owned. The woman forwarded the letter to Clark and it looked completely legitimate with barcodes, a pricing list and more.

But the other side of the letter contained a page of mice type in light grey ink that you couldn't read to save your life. After using a magnifying glass, Team Clark was able to determine that it was a solicitation from a company who wanted to essentially hijack the woman's domain and move her registration.

These notices are similar to the phony Yellow Pages and Internet advertising scams, according to Clark. As a small business owner with a web address, be on your guard for these hijackers who want to rip you with exorbitant fees. Don't fall for their ploys.
