I had a rather unpleasant experience that echoes what others have mentioned here. A woman, claiming to be from Nominet, contacted me regarding a business apparently attempting to register our name but with the .co.uk extension of our existing .com domain. When I pointed out that our website serves mainly as an online business card, she became increasingly irate, raised her voice, and made me feel quite belittled. We exchanged some rather terse remarks, and ultimately, I decided to end the call. Honestly, it's quite appalling the level of professionalism displayed by their staff-rude and lacking patience, to say the least! - Caller: I'm afraid I didn't catch her name, but she insisted she was from Nominet.

everyday about 2 in the afternoon, my phone rings. i answer but say nothing unless someone else talks first. they never do, so it’s always quiet. this trick really works.

When I inquired about the reason for their call, they became quite aggressive, demanding to speak with the business owner directly. After a bit of back and forth, I claimed to be the owner, only to be met with a barrage of hostile and intimidating remarks from the lady on the other end. - caller: Female

Make sure to inform Action Fraud by dialling 0300 123 2040; it’s a step that could really aid in halting their activities.

Well, what a load of nonsense that was! They had the audacity to claim someone else was keen on making a purchase, and when we expressed our lack of interest, they made it out to be our own silly mistake. Their parting shot was a cheeky, 'Don’t say I didn't give you a heads up,' before abruptly cutting the line. Utterly ridiculous!

Like others have mentioned, I received a rather dubious call claiming that a version of our company’s website had been purchased, but with a .com suffix tacked on. They insisted they would pause the auction on our behalf. When I declined, their tone turned quite aggressive.

I've just had a similar encounter; they wanted £80 to supposedly release something from an auction. Meanwhile, I managed to snag the actual domain for a mere £20 over two years! After expressing my gratitude for the heads-up, he abruptly hung up on me. The number that called was 01229 846235.

I encountered a rather rude young chap earlier, keen on chatting with the business owner. He seemed to know their name, as well as mine, suggesting he’d done some digging. Quite bothersome, really.

Just like all the other comments, it seems there's a regional business trying to grab the .co.uk domain of our site to kick-off their operations. Initially, the auction price was set at £200, but the cheeky lot dropped it to £80 today. Meanwhile, while that silly chap was on the phone, I double-checked the domain and found it was up for grabs at a mere £13.88 for a full three years. Honestly, what a pathetic attempt at a scam!

Received a rather dodgy call from a company trying to trick me into purchasing a .com domain that closely resembles my business name. They claimed to be affiliated with Nominet and mentioned that the domain was up for grabs in an auction, with someone nearby supposedly keen on snatching it up. When I started probing for more details, their story fell apart, and they promptly ended the call. Definitely felt like a scam to me!
