For many years now there has been a Postal Domain Renewal Scam going on that attempts to get people to renew their domain through a different company. If you receive any domain registration or renew information by way of snail mail (US Postal Service) chances are it did not come from us or whoever is your domain registrar. You should not reply to that mail.

IF YOU HAVE REGISTERED YOUR DOMAINS THROUGH BLUERAY CONCEPTS – you will never be contacted by postal mail or telephone in regard to your domain name by anyone other than an BlueRay staff member. When your domain is up for renewal you will receive emails from BlueRay Concepts letting you know your domain is about to expire.

Again, WHEN IN DOUBT CONTACT US and we will confirm who your registrar is, and if you need to take any action.

Kentucky – 270-908-5004

A SOLUTION THAT HELPS:
If you registered your domain through BlueRay Concepts  – You may or may not have noticed that we offer a “WHOIS Privacy” option within your domain registration account. You can add this option to your domain upon a new registration, or even on an existing domain that you’ve already registered in the past with us. Simply log in to your domain registration account at https://www.bluerayconcepts.com/brclient and go to Support > Tickets and open a new ticket letting us know you would like to enable Privacy Protection.  The cost for this is $8 per year. Enabling that will begin hiding your contact information from the public access databases which will cut down on these scammers contacting you.

If your domain is not registered through BlueRay Concepts, then you should log in to your current domain registrar and activate any privacy features that they offer. (Be careful to note your privacy details because some registrars use a third-party privacy service which requires a separate login / account for your privacy service. (If your domain is registered through BlueRay Concepts you don’t have to worry about that – the privacy service is controlled all within your same domain registration account).

If you have registered your domain name elsewhere – log in to your registrar and see if they offer a WHOIS Privacy option. (Not just email privacy, but full hidden contact privacy like ours).
