Is This A Scam?
One of my shopping tenants called me today, excited to tell me about her "free" website deal. No upfront charge, $24 per month, two changes allowed per month, no contract. I looked at the site and it's basic but OK.
Obviously suspicious, I looked at WHOIS and sure enough, she does not own the domain. They do.
I would expect that if she wants to own the domain or change website management she's now going to have to pay up big, is that correct? Is that an industry practice or is it a scam?
Clearly she should have been more detailed, but like many mom and pops, she has no idea about websites or anything internet and didn't know to be suspicious.
What are her options other than paying the maintenance fee, knowing she's always a sitting duck? Thank you.
