Namesscout.com what a rip off:

i think namescout is owned by pool. i agree, its a rip off.

My experience with them was a nightmare.

I had a domain with them that I caught from a drop as well. I went ahead and renewed it for 2 years, but the expiration status never changed until the last day of expiration(3 months later)
I mailed them and asked if there was a problem with getting the status updated. They replied with some garbage about how their service only updates the registry at expiration time.
After the expiration date had updated, I transferred the name away to another registrar.
As their service only updates the registry 1 year at a time at expiration, I lost the last year of the 2 years I payed for.
When I talked to them again, they offered a refund, but never gave it to me, and never responded to any other mails.

Yeah, they are overpriced and crooks to boot. I guess at least it was only 1 domain though.

ya wtf what fuckers,
i just got ripped almost triple the normal price of a domain these days, i mean why not just go back to old school and charge me $60 per domain already?

what fuckers they are! nothing like the sour taste of being legit scammed in your mouth. whatever i need my domains just pisses me off!

i have about 50 with them.

Well, I guess at least you can transfer the ones that have been there at least 60 days for between 5.99 and up each. I don't seem to recall too many problems with transferring them away.
Good luck!
