Tastinggenie.com and DomainGenies.com missing funds! - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

**slumbum** · 04-02-2009, 09:05 PM

Anybody else get promised that your funds would be transferred from your Tasting account to your domain account, and get nothing?!

I'm glad it was only relatively little money, but I have written to them a couple of times and have yet to get a reply.

Until I'm paid, I suggest you proceed with caution when using domaingenies and mindgenies.

If they give me my funds back, I'll post an update here.

Happy Domaining!

Man, I hope you get your money credited over correctly. I still have over $2,000 balance in my Tasting Genie account that I need to transfer also. Please keep me informed of your progress.

I want to let everyone know that I have a portfolio of 245 domains on auction at EBAY that ends Apr-05-09 11:56:17 PDT. There are a lot of single dictionary word .orgs and .infos

I'm on the same situation, lets wait a few more days.

**slumbum** · 04-03-2009, 11:04 PM

Situation resolved.

Don't know if I'll use them to register .com's cuz they are $10.xx plus .61 cents for total dns control.

Cheers.

A little expensive...too.

**CallMoney** · 04-06-2009, 11:48 AM

Very expensive... :(

**lender3212000** · 04-10-2009, 11:45 AM

I had the same thing happen to me. I emailed them several times and gave them nearly two weeks, I never got a response and the funds didn't get transferred. Finally I opened a paypal dispute and within hours, surprise, surprise; my account was credited. I guess they just needed a little extra incentive

On the topic of domain registration fees, if anyone plans to stay with them; just open up a reseller account and you will get your domains for $7.75 for .coms. Can't go wrong with that price as long as you can keep track of you $$.

**lender3212000** · 04-27-2009, 09:10 PM

As an update to my earlier post, these scam artists have now put a lock on every single domain in my account because I made an issue over the $450 they tried to make off with from my tasting account. It looks at this point as if it may take a lawsuit to regain control over my domains. In the mean time, if anyone knows a reputable registrar that will allow me to get domains for under $8 per year, please let me know.

**korganian** · 04-27-2009, 11:03 PM

I have sent 3 emails to mindgenies.com and they do not reply and they never answer their phone!!! They have over $2,000.00 of my money from my tasting account!!!
I sure would appreciate any help the members here could offer us.

**Jessica320** · 04-29-2009, 01:09 AM

First time to hear about these sites. Hope you'll get your money, korganian.

**slumbum** · 04-30-2009, 01:40 AM

Looks like they got me too. I went to log in, and they say: "password expired" a new one has been emailed to you. Only problem is, I no longer have that email! It escaped my notice that I didn't update my account email since they axed the tasting account. Effectively, I am locked out from my domains. I wrote them, let's see how they respond. Someone should alert ICANN if they are unwilling to accommodate domain holders.
