Come on now is fucking right.

I understand the need to verify things, but this is a little strange.

They did this because two credit cards were used to purchase domains and one was in a diff. name. than in my profile because it was my partners card.

So here's their procedure...

They accept the card, charge it. Register my domains. Allow me to set everything up and a week later not only do they re direct the domains purchased with the second card but ALL my domains in that account.

They also do all this without ever contacting me. The lady I spoke to said, that's our policy because if the person who bought the domains is legit then they will contact us.

Is this really the right way to do this? What about a contact before the domains are killed. Even 24 hours. I still can't believe they operate like this. It actually should never get to this point. If they are so concerned over fraud their should be a system in place that doesn't allow the domains to be purchased in the first place under an existing account.

Oh well. Crisis over. Now what registrar to I switch to this afternoon?

Fax sent an hour ago. sites still not on. I was told it would take 15 minutes and now the lady I spoke with is 'away from her desk'

If you can verify (stats etc.) to show an average income by day, sue them for it.

The fees will prolly eat up any money you might get, but I would think it's worth it, to show them how fucked they are. Are they ICANN accredited? if so complain to them about it.

damn bastards

That FUCKING sux

If he had FAKE whois info then he clearly violated their T.O.S., I don't understand why he's so surprised.

It had NOTHING to do with the whois. In fact no one that I spoke to on the phone would give me their last name which made me ask why they expect everyone to give their full names to be listed on the web. The reply was simply "most people don't use their real names anyway"

Gotta love how they redirect the domains to make a few quick bucks

And some people even defend them

Registrars messing with domains at will is becoming a plague. Hardly anything any webmaster should be happy about

If you registered last week your domains will be in quarantine for another 50 days....:/

Otherwise - go for namecheap!

Registerfly's domain registrations are only tentative until a 30 day "probationary" sort of period passes. They'll register domains, but clearly reserve the right to terminate the registration for any reason (or without any reason) within 30 days, without any notice or recourse other than refunding your money. I don't think it's a good policy, but they are up front about it.

What a bunch of fucking tools these people are. It may be morning before the fraud department can re activate my sites. I really can't believe the day I've had.

Whoever suggested I gather any proof of income was dead right. Just spoke to the lawyer again and that's what he has me doing. I can't wait until the sites come back so I can gauge how long it will take the traffic to recover.

It's funny to me because I was so mad this morning and now it's turn to complete disbelief. I am actually sitting here laughing.

Ziggy, at the bottom of the previous page of comments, I pointed out a clause in RegFly's terms of service that will impede your legal remedies. I'm not saying don't try it, but you should provide your attorney with a copy of the agreement, so he's working with all the facts and can advise you accordingly.
