RegisterFly.com WARNING
 

I just called customer service to unlock a domain I wanted to transfer.

The Cust service person said, "no problem, I can do that for you. What domain?"

Then she unlocked it. Without ever asking my name, account name, password, etc.

HEADS UP!

Oh thats great.

that cant be good for biz. :(

no way! OMG I think I will have to transfer everything to directNIC after all

thanks for the heads up Hal :thumbsup

that ain't good...

that's why I use tosdomains.com and moniker.com only
don't have to worry about that shit with them...

Shocking...

The Porn God said don't use anything but DirectNIC

Sweet *goes to look for domains I want hosted at registerfly, LOL*

Ah shit, are you serious?
WG

this is fucked up, but still if your whois info is correct nobody could transfer it without your consent

I am still going to change to directNIC though... any other suggestions for trustworthy registrars that have 7 days a week support?

don't mean shit.
you still get an email, you have to confirm or the transfer is off.

I just got sex.com!!!!


thanks for the tip!

Really? You sure you didn't give them your password when you first called?

Maybe the CSR recognized your voice:winkwink:

Thats pretty fucked up :(

i just want a really good look at that tit in your hand. looks like my kinda tit.

Damn that sucks! Did you report that to them? I'm sure that they aren't all that stupid there and I'm sure they would like to know that they have lazy workers that need to be talked to about this :2 cents:

Thanks for this great news!


:///

wow, that is fucked up... they should know better.

no no , if you DONT respond to the email the transfer goes thru.

So if someone fills your email box to the limit right before they try to transfer the "transfer email " gets bounced and the transfer goes thru..

u guys arent too too smart.. IF i was gonna steal someone's domains.. and he had correct whois, all you have to do is bomb the email in the whois..

put ur mailing boxes on 24-7 and hit his email with like 1mil emails.. keep ur boxes on for 3 days and keep hitting his email with diff "froms", etc, so everything is unique..

he wont even see the registrar email come thru :winkwink:

I'll let you know if everything goes through or what. Just sharing the content of the phone call sicne it freaked me out a bit.

now they send you a confirmation link via email

yes but if nobody responds to it , the transfer goes through, and if the email account is full the email gets bounced.

Unless they have some other method that violates the rules ?

All the transfers I've done in that last few weeks have said something to the effect of "If this transfer is not confirmed in the next 5 days, it will be canceled." Have a link for more info on the automatic transfer Smokey?

The reason why they did this was shady registrars would just ignore requests to transfer people own domains, ( because they lose money ) so they would send the user through some insanely impossible paper trail to transfer the domain.

Some registrars are doing it differently.

I tried it on a directnic name and transferred it then i didnt agree to the transfer to see wht would happen , i just ignored the email entirely, and it didnt go through ( domain was unlocked )

But i tried the same thing on names names names and godaddy and it went thru

this is just plain wrong... can not be I have to transfer all my domains away from RF...
someone email them and kick their asses.
