Some of our clients have alerted us of emails and mailing they have received from a back-up service provider by the name DNS Services (DNSsvc.com) and lists a business address of Vancouver, Washington.
If you receive what looks like an invoice from this company via mail or email, do not respond to it or make a payment – it is simply a solicitation that our web hosting clients don’t need.
In short: Don’t be fooled – dispose of mail or email from DNS Services.
Typically, a business will receive a mailed piece that on the surface looks like an invoice for “Managed DNS Backup Business Services” (or something similar) and provides a detachable pay statement to mail in along with your check. If you read through the “invoice” thoroughly, you may see the following disclaimer:
“This is a solicitation for the order of goods or services, or both, and not a bill, invoice, or statement of account due. You are under no obligation to make any payments on account of this offer unless you accept this offer.”
There have been some reports that this disclaimer was not present on some mailers. If that turns out to be true, DNS Services could be charged with mail fraud.
This “Managed DNS Backup Services” is an unnecessary service for website hosting clients of a fake productions, as DNS back-up is included with our hosting services.
As always, please feel free to contact us with any questions about your website’s hosting, DNS, domain registration, etc.
