{"success":true,"data":{"id":"fake-domain-renewal-hijack-scam","label":"Fake domain renewal hijack — your domain is expiring / competitors will buy it + pay immediately to renew + final notice + sent from non-registrar domain","description":"Fake domain expiration notice sent from a third-party non-registrar — impersonating or mimicking a domain registration authority to warn that the victim's domain is expiring imminently and will be \"released to the public,\" \"snapped up by squatters,\" or \"permanently deleted\" unless they pay an inflated renewal fee ($75–$150+) immediately. The sender is not the victim's actual registrar. ICANN regulations prohibit domain transfer without explicit authorization; the scare tactics (\"competitors monitoring your domain,\" \"SEO rankings will disappear,\" \"final notice before deletion\") are designed to create panic-driven payments. Real registrar renewal notices arrive from the registrar on record, use normal pricing, and never threaten SEO rankings.","tier":"danger","category":"scam","isThin":false}}
