Verisign isn't the only one doing it... have you checked any of your magazine subscriptions lately?? I get big yellow letters telling me my subscription is expiring and I know that I've just paid for another year a few months ago. I think they all need to stop these misleading practices.

You JUST got this? Wow. Verisign is being sued over exactly this type or practice currently. You'd think they'd know better.

I just received a mailing from Verisign that borderlines on fraud. It is at the least, VERY misleading. It states in BOLD letters "Domain Name Expiration Notice" and to reply by June 20, 2002. However the domain it pertains to doesn't expire until 1/03 and is NOT registered with Verisign. The form is called a "renewal and transfer" and is nothing more then an attempt to fool people in to switching over registration to Verisign and giving out credit card info. I urge everyone to be on the lookout if you recieve one of these mailings. I don't mind them advertising for people to switch, but this mailing is down right wrong. I think many a busy Admin may just send this off without fully understanding it. Complaints can be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chris Santerre System Admin
