Last year, we’ve already posted some articles to warn you about letters from Domain Renewal Group (DRG). After a period of silence, DRG now strikes again. Apparently this time they seem mainly to be targetting customers of Belgacom.

Some website users of Belgacom received a letter from DRG asking them to renew their domain name at a cost of €28. After this amount is paid, DRG takes over the website of the user. Once this is done, the website can’t be used by his original user anymore.

Belgacom has sent a letter to all his internet customers asking them to ignore the letter of DRG. They’ve also filed a complaint against DRG with the Federal Computer Crime Unit (FCCU) and with the Federal Departement of Economics.

If you receive any requests regarding your domain name, we advice you to contact your current domain name registrar since they will be able to tell you what is real and what isn’t.
