Is anyone looking out for the domainers? After reading the following blog the clear answer is yes. Reece Berg who is already known for his blog LLLL.com has done it again with DomainNameScams.com. Get this, the blog has only been online for 10 days and has 16 must read articles. Seriously, DomainNameScams.com was launched November 24th and has 16 useful articles. I am personally taken back by this because I know first hand how hard it is to continually put out quality articles. Most domainer blogs could only hope to put out that many articles in a one or two months time frame.
One of the articles Reece wrote was about security and how thieves are hacking into peoples PayPal accounts to steal their money. Instead of just stating the obvious he pointed out a simple and effective tip, get a security key ($5). The key creates random security codes to use along with your regular user name and password. I don’t know about you but I ordered mine right after reading the article, thank you Reece.
Go check out DomainNameScams.com, I would even say check it out every day because of the rate Reece is putting out articles.

Hi Patrick,
Thank you very much for the mention
Having been scammed once in the past myself (unauthorized funds through Paypal in 2006), I saw this as something necessary to get the information out there.
When I got scammed, it absolutely devastated me, as it does most of the people I talk to who’ve been scammed in the past. I’ve been fortunate in my moderator role in the Namepros community to have been both able to help many people who’ve been scammed and learn from what scams have been attempted, now being able to offer suggestions on how to avoid similar scams in the future.
Scamming methods are constantly evolving — social engineering methods are becoming increasingly complicated, as are the international hacking networks which are playing an increasingly large role in cybercrime.
what if your names are at best B-class, aka not worth hacking/stealing
does one still need this added protection?
security is always good. if you paid for it, secure it.
Thanks for sharing this lovely bit of info - Patrick
I’ll try and organize a key for myself ASAP.
