Bombaybiz.com, a hosting company based in Mumbai has been doing fraud since past few years. They send a letter in the form of a proforma invoice to customers of other web hosting companies and the customers who are non-technical don't understand that Bombaybiz is not their host and end up paying them fearing the website would be down if not renewed. Later, when the domain gets expired, they catch hold of their service providers and only then realise that they have paid to the wrong company. I don't know what Bombaybiz people tell them but definitely they give some wrong information and get the payment from the customer. They have been doing this since last 3-4 years and just today one of my resellers' customer has been the target of them. I just want to tell all the hosting providers in India and hosting and domain resellers to make their customers aware of this fraud and help them secure the domains. This way, neither the host nor the customer will be at loss.

never heard of them, will keep an eye out though.. thanks..

This is not just a 3 to 4 years story, I know about this going on for more than 9 years.

Best part is few years back they had sent a similar invoice to me for my main domain.

I remember they started with my customers in 2005. At one place I read 8 years. We need to educate our customers about these frauds.
