Domain Name Renewal Notice Scams

The only action you should perform regarding your domain with when your receive communication from Point2. 

These e-mails will come from either a Point2 associated e-mail address (e.g. point2agent.com) or our domain re-seller GoDaddy (secureserver.net). Any other e-mails may look convincing or official and often contain information specific to your domain registration that most people believe is retained only by the company which you registered your domain through, however, domain registration information including expiration dates, registration e-mails and other contact information is often stored in public records and can easily be looked up using a service called "WHOIS".

Unfortunately, there has been an increase in the amount of people who are being tricked into paying for the renewal or even facilitating the transfer of a domain to an entirely different registrar. As such, if you will ever receive communication with regards to your Point2 purchased domain, you should always cross check the information presented with your Point2 domains account.
