Just like others have said, someone rang claiming to be from Nominet, saying some firm was attempting to register our business name but with the .co.uk instead of our .com domain. I told her our website’s more like a simple online business card, and she soon got quite annoyed, even raising her voice and acting like I didn’t know what I was talking about. After a bit of a tense back-and-forth, I ended the call. Absolutely awful company, and their staff were really rude and quick to lose their temper! Can’t remember the woman’s name, but she said she was with Nominet.

When I asked who they were and what their call was about, the woman got really rude and wouldn't listen, demanding to talk to the business owner. After going back and forth, I told her I was the owner and that's when she started shouting and being really aggressive towards me. - caller: Female

You should ring Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 and let them know about these people, it might really help to get them stopped.

What a load of muppets! They called to tell us someone was keen to buy but then reckoned it was our fault we weren’t interested. Their last words before slamming the phone down were “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Utter nonsense.

Like the others said, they called saying they’d purchased our firm’s website but added a .com at the end, and offered to stop the auction for us. When I declined, they got really rude.

Got a call from the number 01229 846235 trying to charge me £80 to free up a domain from auction. I ended up buying the domain myself for under £20 for two years while still on the phone. Told the guy cheers for the heads up and he just hung up. What a cheek!

This lad was really pushy and rude, kept asking for the business owner. Weird thing is, he actually knew the name - mine too. I guess he had done some kinda digging beforehand.

Like others have said, some business nearby was trying to buy the .co.uk variant of our site to launch their own trades. They put it up for auction at £200 but then said I could have it for £80 today. While I had the muppet on the line, I took a peek and saw the domain was actually just sitting there, ready to be snapped up for £13.88 for three years. Proper rubbish scam if you ask me!

Got a call from some firm trying to trick me into buying a domain that looked just like my company’s but ending in .com. They claimed they partner with Nominet and said the domain's going under the hammer, with someone near me bidding on it. When I asked a few questions, it quickly became clear it was a con, and they just cut off the call.
