Scam Alert! – Domain Registry Of America and DNS Services

Red Alert

Red Alert

I recently received statements in the mail from two companies. Domain Registration Of America and DNS Services are sending out what appear to be hard-copy invoices. Buried in the text is a disclaimer that is is a solicitation and not actually a bill of invoice. The invoice gives the impression that your domain name is up for renewal and about to expire. These scams are aimed at consumers who do not realize that by returning the invoices along with a payment, their domain names are in fact transferring from their current domain registrar to DROA. What makes these scams appear genuine is that it contains information extracted from DNS records, including your company’s domain and the ISP records….

Crouch Fine Arts – New Site

I recently completed a new site for Ann Crouch of Crouch Fine Arts. The site is a minimalist design that reflects Ann’s wish is to let the art speak for itself. I have broken with my love for descriptive text to drive search traffic. The site is a landing page for traffic generated from magazine advertising running in Southwest Art and other publications.

Ann paints to music, thoughts and memories. The paintings are a movement of color in oil or acrylics, painted to her thoughts at the time and the music filling the quiet of the night at her easel. It is an uninterrupted time when her thoughts are not disturbed. It is a beautiful experience for her and she hopes you will find joy and pleasure in her abstracts also.
