Country: | So I have an insane story to tell.... Today, I received an "Order Confirmation" email from eNom about 11 domains that I attempted to register. The only problem is that I attempted to register these domains 7 months ago on January 1st, 2009 and all 11 failed (were not available to register).... well today just about an hour ago I randomly received an "Order Confirmation" email from eNom that 2 of those domains were successful and they billed me $15.98 for both of them. The only problem is they were actually registered by 2 different people on the same day I attempted to register them (7 MONTHS AGO) and the whois confirms this!!! Furthermore, I havn't even logged into my eNom account for AT LEAST 1 week! So I called eNom up and the Support guy was completely speechless at times about what could have happened.... I was put on hold for him to check it out and when he came back he told me that it appeared both domains were pushed to me today. BUT, I was also billed for new registrations.... and ALSO, there is no possible way the domains were really pushed to me by the owners because I personally know 1 of the people who's domain is now in my account and they did NOT push it to me. YES, the domains are actually in my account now and I can modify the whois information. They were NOT registered by me but now somehow they are magically in my account. I talked to the 1 person that I know personally and he says he did not receive any sort of email but he checked his eNom account and the domains are indeed GONE from his account!

as i explained the situation he became even more and more speechless... saying things like "wow", "hmmm", "that is really odd" originally, i just called them to report i was sent an invoice and billed for something i did not buy. i knew this since i hadnt logged into enom in at least a week... what made it even more strange is i tried to register these same domains exactly 7 months ago and was sent a "failed" email for all of them because someone beat me to them (it was during the drop time)... but when i was on the phone with them he explained to me the domains were actually in my account. i hadnt even checked because i didnt consider it a possibility since i was billed for new registrations and the whois read that they had clearly been registered for 7 months. i personally know one of the owners affected and he did not push a domain to me. the other guy i know "of"... but im sure he didnt push it to me either.

Country: | Eek... dont like the sound of this. We have too many in there to transfer out easily, a lot of hassle. Hope this gets sorted quickly.

![]() wouldnt really call them incompetent in this situation tho.. they resolved it eventually without making excuses.. although, at first they did try saying the original owners never even registered the domains.

Country: | I have little faith in any of them- I received 6 transfer updates last night from moniker for 3 domains I moved succesfully into my account in March, tow of the doamins are shown as 'pending' in these latest (unsolicited) reports....

Ignore the emails...Tech was doing Q & A and the notices went out on accident. Your account and domains are unaffected. | |

Country: | nothing new to me. enom, i think, should be voted for the worst registrar for domainers. I did a write up about how crappy their CP is.
