The following story is chapter 85 in the book entitled "Look How Things Work Out!"
A few months ago, I got a call at my office from someone claiming to be from the web hosting service I was using, saying that my domain name was about to expire and asking if I would like to renew . . . by giving them my credit card number.
I tell you what, I felt so SMART when I recognized this as a scam and told the guy I'd renew online! He called back a month later saying my domain name HAD expired. Once again, since I hadn't received the notification emails the caller said I should have gotten, I just KNEW this was an attempt to steal my identity! I am just so savvy!!
One step short of starting a new career with SCAMBUSTERS, I checked my website. Shockingly, I discovered that my domain name had expired. Then I checked my "junk" email folder. Yep. There they were.
Guess I'll stick with my current job.
The up-side of all this is that I got a chance to reconsider my domain name . . . (drumroll please) and was delighted to learn that Psyched-IN.com was available and is now all mine!!
This is a good time to officially and effusively thank the King of the (usually groan-inducing) pun, who came up with the title for my blog in about 5 seconds flat, and Juliette Kohrs for still being my friend AFTER designing my website.
LookAtMeee! I'm a DotCom!
