Today a client of mine texted me an invoice he got from domainlistings.directory asking for $288 for a listing, they make it look like if they have signed up before and this is a recurring invoice.
I wander how many suckers have fall for this.

I have not seen one of those in years, I got some to years back. I guess they make real money with it since they keep sending them out .. =)

I got one of those a year or so ago. I guarantee they fool a decent amount of people. Especially small business owners who try to handle their own site/pages.

$288, for what, probably less than $0.20 per letter sent out.
I wonder whats their conversation rate.

Well technically it’s not a scam. They make it seem like it’s a renewal but if you read closely you can see it they mention it’s not mandatory and optional. And they actually deliver the service. So there’s nothing illegal. They are offering a listing service in their directory.
