And here we have another case for the ACCC. Please refer to the following
correspondence received by an Australian consumer from Discount Domain Name
Services late last week:

Interesting that Rod Keys doesn't consider his very recent marketing
deceptive. Perhaps he should read a little of the recent court orders
relating to ING as noted below.

THE COURT ORDERS BY CONSENT THAT:

Upon the first respondent, by its counsel, undertaking that until the
hearing
and determination of the proceeding, or until further order:
[snip]

(c) represents that it has a pre-existing relationship with a person, if in
truth it does not, in particular, by stating that there is such a
relationship
or by describing its notices as "Renewal Advices" or by an invitation to
"confirm" a renewal or by addressing its notices to "accounts payable".  The
notices it sends to those persons to whom it does not have a pre-existing
relationship will include the statement:  "You do not have to renew your
domain name registration through ING" (such statement to appear in the body
of
the text (in the same size and font as that text) on the front page of the
notices);  etc. etc.
