Some customers of JustNet/GoDomains, as well as many other Australian consumers had been tricked into paying Internet Name Protection / Internet Name Group for domain name renewals. Many of these complaints were referred to the ACCC.

With INP/ING apparently now under administration, this means if you have paid ING for renewal services, there is a reasonable likelihood your domain name may not have been renewed. Also, as INP/ING was offering "renewals" for up to 10 years and this was never possible for .au domains, any amounts pre-paid for future renewal services will not have been renewed against your domain name(s) - as this is not and has never been possible for .au names (which can only be renewed 90 days or less prior to the expiry date).
