'''Domain slamming''' is a form of [[scam]] in which an [[internet service provider|ISP]] or domain name [[registrar]] attempts to trick customers of different companies into switching from their own ISP/registrar to the scamming ISP/registrar, under the pretense that the customer is simply renewing their subscription to their old ISP/registrar.<ref>http://www.discountdomainsuk.com/articles/5/876/0/4</ref><ref>http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/05/14/verisign_hit_with_slamming_lawsuit/</ref> This may also be considered [[spamming]] when the scam is in the form of a letter or e-mail. |
