Just had a reminder frem Freeola (allegedly) that one of mt domains is up for renewal, it goes on about freeola will send me a reminder up to 60 days in advance, yet the domain in question expires in January 2008!!
So is this a false email or a genuine one from Freeola?
Please beware of misleading domain invoices from other companies.
As your domain is nearing expiry, other companies like the Domain Registry Of America may contact you with unsolicited invoices which attempt to mislead you into transferring your domain to them for renewal at an inflated cost. We have not supplied any of your contact details to these companies, it is their practice to pick out contact details from the online domain registration records. THE ACTIONS OF THESE COMPANIES HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED, AND ARE THE SUBJECT OF MANY COMPLAINTS TO TRADING AND ADVERTISING STANDARDS AGENCIES. YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO IGNORE THEM.
Don't trust anyone but Get Dotted for domain name registrations and renewals.
The renewal date of your domain is shown above, but you can pay the renewal fee early if you wish at the Get Dotted Renewals page. Before your domain is due for renewal you will be contacted by Freeola & Get Dotted by e-mail and post. Our reminders are sent from about 60 days prior to renewal. Please note Freeola cannot offer free services in respect of domains renewed with other companies.

Cheers for that guys, Last year we got a message from that Domain Registry of America asking for money, but they sent it to the community council who passed it on to us but we ignored it. Is there a way then that when we registar a domain that we can hide our contact details? or even now can we update records so that the who is goes not show who is?

Yep don't worry, we're just giving you a warning to stop you becoming a victim of a scam. It has been know that these rogue companies request payments way above actual renewal costs and some people who have been taken in have had a lot of trouble when they find they've actually signed over their domain to a different company.
Do a google for 'domain registry of america' if you want to see what can happen if you get a scam renewal notice and believe it.

Hi,
Don't worry that's a real email from Freeola.
It's not a renewal reminder, but a warning that as it gets closer to renewal other dodgy emails (or letters) may arrive (not from Freeola) trying to get you to renew via them, rather than Freeola.
If you login directly to MyFreeola (to avoid any phishing scams), and not by clicking any email links, and renew from there you can't go wrong!
