Anyone who has owned a web site in the last 10 years or so has probably heard of the “Domain Registry of America“.  They are the ones who send you solicitations that look a LOT like bills.  They were even the subject of action by the FTC and the Canadian government.

Despite this, they have continued to send out their bill-like solicitations.  If you get one of these DO NOT PAY IT! It is NOT a bill!

Today I got VERY strikingly similar solicitations from a new name in this scam: Web Listings, Inc.”.  The twist this time, though is that rather than trying to get you to transfer your domain to them, this new company is trying to get you to give them $65.00 to list your web site with on 20 established search engines.

It isn’t that this company is a scam.  The thing is that the whole INDUSTRY of search engine listing is a total crock! Don’t throw your money away on these.  But don’t take my word for it.  Here are a few references form other experts:

• Search Engine Submission Services Are a Scam
• “Internet Listing Service” Scam
• Website Listing Service Fraud Alert: Web Listings Inc.
• Website Listing Scam
• SEO Scams – Getting Fooled
• SEO Scams and Newbies Realm of Gullibility
• Listingcorp.com – Evil Scammers!
• Beware Fake Listing Service Bills

These are NOT bills.  Don’t pay them!

Over the weekend, Just Works is implementing  a new help desk system and moving to a new email server to boot!

If you would like to test the system out, just send an email with the subject of “Testing 123″ to h...@justworksnh.com and I’ll reply when I get to it.

This system is being used for both sales and support so we can better track help requests.  Our old system was huge and clunky.  This one is sleek and fast.  I hope you’ll enjoy it and I know it will make my job easier.  We’ll eventually get it more fully integrated into our main web system, but the important thing is that it is working.

Just Works wants to know…

What computing and internet challenges do you face?

Are you worried about security?  Connecting with your clients and suppliers?  Do you have trouble sorting out all the information out there?  Is there a unique challenge you face?

We’d like to know!

Shoot Brian an email at brian@justworksnh.com and let him know all about the challenges you face.

In return, Just Works will tailor our services to what you tell us you need!

Isn’t that pretty sweet?
