This iRegistrations.com is UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Could somebody please tell me who has the jurisdiction to stop and punish iRegistration?

I registered two $5.95 domains with iRegistrations.com, one .com(5/23) and one .org(6/3), and brought myself a nightmare. I didn't find it until 9/20 that iRegistrations had billed my credit cards for at least four times: 7/2, 7/23, 8/1, 9/20, each time for $39.98!

I filed a chargeback to each credit card bank (unfortunately, I used two different cards to reg the two names), and sent an e-mail to iRegistrations.com to ask them for explanation(9/20).

There has been no reply, and some days after, I found I could no longer login both my domain accounts at iRegistrations.com, and when I checked the WHOIS, I was surprised to find that iRegistrations had taken the .com domain back, the registrar was eNom (!!), and iRegistrations became the registrant, as for the .org, it simply turned out 'no match'.

I have just submitted an InterNIC Registrar Problem Report ( http://reports.internic.net/cgi/regi...lem-report.cgi ), and what else can I do now?

Send a message via Skype™ to I Sold Grandma

They ripped me off, then threatened me with a court case and a bad credit rating

maybe http://www.accc.gov.au/ would know who to complain to

No hurry, I'll play with them and make them regret for what they have done.

I would contact eNom by telephone and let them know that they have a reseller who is committing credit card fraud. The $5.95/year price should have been a tip-off that they're not legit. Unfortunately, my guess is that iregistrations.com is a scam to harvest credit card numbers.

So called "Deep Discount" registrars should be suspect right
off the bat. I only deal with open-srs registrars that have
been around for a while
