Scams, Sneakiness And Manipulation

30 April 2004

In spite of the title, I’m accusing no one of anything.

Two domains that I registered, but do not use are up for renewal soon. If they expire, I have 30 days to reinstate them by paying $99.95 plus the annual registration fee.

Since April 5 I’ve been trying to transfer these two domains from one registrar to another. I’ve followed the rules. I’ve asked for and received the transfer authorization codes. I’ve reinstated the transfers a couple of times.

At this moment, it certainly seems that one registrar may be waiting for these two domains to expire so that they can collect the extra $200. Be assured that details will be provided if they drop the ball on this!
