[Asterisk-Users] iax.cc and/or Sixtel.net seems like IT IS A SCAM.

Hi,

Apparently, the Sixtel/IAX/etc are the divisions of iNetMedia LLC. That
what they write on their website:
--------------------------------------------------------------

They really have only Virtual presence ! 
1. No real address, nothing. Only toll-free number that is the same for
all of their "companies" and their e-mail that is the same too.
2. The DNS zone result:
   Domain Name: INETM.NET
   Registrar: TUCOWS INC.
   Whois Server: whois.opensrs.net
   Referral URL: http://domainhelp.tucows.com
   Name Server: NS1.IODNS.NET
   Name Server: NS1.TENDIAL.COM
   Status: ACTIVE
   Updated Date: 30-jul-2004
   Creation Date: 30-jul-2004
   Expiration Date: 30-jul-2005

 Domain servers in listed order:
    NS1.IODNS.NET   72.20.1.158
    NS1.TENDIAL.COM   209.237.228.205

3. their web-site (www.sixtel.net) IP (205.234.133.204) is routed to
Chicago (reverse lookup is "Unknown.ord.scnet.net")
4. their website www.inetm.net ip (72.20.1.158) is routed to California
server hosting company, where you can get a dedicated server for
$99/month. Reverse lookup returns empty name.
4. Scnet.net has 5 pages website (quite a work for ISP), that any kid
could create in 1h
5. IODNS.NET does not have any website However if you go there by IP,
you get a "herbal processing LLC" website, which looks surprisingly like
sixtel.net
6. Tendial.com is dead at all.

Looks like a garage-grown company to me, who has a sysadmins working
full-time somewhere else. Does anyone wants a IAX termination from me ?
Looks like I qualify to run the same business :) I have * pbx sitting in
my basement, 3000/800 ADSL line, I can make such website. Looks like I
start another SevenTel tomorrow!

This makes me look like a fool myself not to do such research before I
ordered DID from them. But I just hope others will not make the same
mistake.
