Arnhem, 05 March 2009 – SIDN has recently started receiving fresh complaints from registrars and registrants about a business called GT@P, whose activities previously attracted adverse comment in 2007. GT@P approaches .nl registrants and urges them to have their domain names listed in the WorldWideWeb Register, so that the register remains up to date. The cost of this listing service, which is hidden in the small print of the contract, is €957 per edition of the register. The contract covers three editions, so the total cost amounts to €2,871.
What can SIDN do?
Wherever possible, SIDN will take robust action to eliminate disreputable practices. However, we can act only where we have legal grounds for doing so – if, for example, a caller claims to represent SIDN. As far as we are aware, there has been no such misrepresentation in this case. If you have any information about this matter, please let us know by contacting support@sidn.nl.Fraud registration service
We strongly advise any registrar or registrant who is approached about the WorldWideWeb Register to decline GT@P’s listing offer. Furthermore, any fraudulent activities may be reported at www.fraudemeldpunt.nl. (the website of the national advertising and acquisition fraud registration service).
