Re: Register.Com sending letters now???!!!

[Mike Allen]

I have NEVER had a domain with them, and the one I posted and I am talking about is one of my domains. I got it through OpenSRS a few years ago and it has stayed with OpenSRS since then.... So, that can't be the case..... If someone at Register.Com told you that, then they are lying through their teeth.   -- Mike Allen, 4CheapDomains.Net [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.4CheapDomains.Net    (812) 275-8425 - Office (815) 364-1278 - Fax     ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Scott To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 1:22 PM Subject: RE: Register.Com sending letters now???!!! In the case of Register.com, it looks like they are soliciting previous customers.  We received a notice the other day from them that listed about ten domains that were originally registered through them but since transferred to OpenSRS.  I didn't think it was worth the effort to check, but I'm assuming their TOS and/or privacy policy state that they can continue to market to you after you are no longer a customer unless you explicitly tell them not to--again, just a guess. At least in this case, the notice states renewal and transfer at least twice on the front page in normal type, IIRC.   Chris   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Charles Edmunds Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 1:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Register.Com sending letters now???!!! If a client is lured into transfering to Register.com. Verisign, Domain Registry of America, etc...   Do we have to allow the transfer to go through?  I mean is there a way that we can block the domains from being transfered out of our account and into theirs?  I think this would put a big damper on their solicitation for new customers.   Secondly, where are these companies getting this information?  I would really like to know so that I may contact them and inform them to take me and my clients off of these sold lists.  This is bull$#!*   Thanks,   C.

I had a call a few days ago from a client telling me that he received a renewal letter from Register.Com  - However, I told him not to worry about it and to ignore it as I thought it was some kind of error. But, it seems Register.Com is following the footsteps of the VeriSign idiots.... I am going to post this renewal form on our site in the next 20 minutes or so...(Just in case no one has seen it yet and would like to)   -- Mike Allen, 4CheapDomains.Net [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.4CheapDomains.Net    (812) 275-8425 - Office (815) 364-1278 - Fax
