A US District Court Judge has permanently halted operations of a
Canadian company that allegedly sent phony invoices to US individuals
and businesses implying that they owed the Canadian company money
to register their domain names.  The invoice recipients were led to
believe that they would lose their web addresses if they did not pay.
The company also suggested that its services would include search
engine optimization, which would send more traffic to their sites.
Judge Robert Dow Jr. acted on a complaint from the US Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) against Toronto-based Internet Listing Service.
The company allegedly collected more than US $4.26 million in fees.
