This email almost caught me out the other day:

![29-05-2012 16-00-13 Domain Scam](https://storage.ghost.io/c/64/5b/645b11c2-b436-444c-a523-58dca4ca7bd8/content/images/tim/images/6716058b1592_E2AB/29-05-2012-16-00-13-Domain-Scam_thumb.png)

The client has been interested in the .com before but I couldn't recall whether it was something we had bought for them or not so I checked it out and it was actually free -so it's basically a $250 domain registration!

Don't be caught out, make sure you [check the domain names yourself first](http://customer.heartinternet.co.uk/aff.cgi?entry=hGN3Rq%5Fu7/053RlUncVqhw&landing=web%5Fhosting&ref=blog.tsd.digital).
