Domain Service Notice SCAM

This is the newest email scam I have received. This email (that I received) IP address resolves to a private residence in Dearborn MI. If you read it carefully it says "Domain Name Search Engine Registration." IT IS NOT A DOMAIN REGISTRATION RENEWAL!

It is a deceptive attempt to get you to pay them to submit your domain (which may not even be registered to you) to some search engines. They do not even specify which ones. I know for a fact the Google, Bing and Yahoo will take your submission for FREE. This company wants to take you for $75 to $499 of your hard-earned bucks. DON'T FALL FOR IT!

There is a disclaimer in the bottom fine print that says this is a solicitation, but it sure looks official to me - and like a domain renewal. Trust me,
it's not!

Notice there is no Company Name for this email, just an address.

Want to know what is at this address? A simple Google search of the address found it:

Mailbox Forwarding, Inc.Address:‎

2885 Sanford Avenue Southwest

Grandville, MI 49418

(877) 335-6245

So is this legit? ABSOLUTELY - NO!
