    Register.com's Tricky Scheme...

    I recently transfered my website www.FlightSource.net over from Register.com and their $35 a year domain cost to namecheap and their $8.88 domains. Anyways, my younger sister answered the phone and came running in to the room and handed it to me saying "It some computer talking about a website?" So I gave a listen and the computer said "Your domain name is expiring soon. Press "1" on your keypad to automatically renew it. I hung up the phone right after that. Isn't that tricky of them, What happens if you pushed "1" by accident or something? I really despise Register.com. Down with them! hahaha...

    What do you think?

    Hmmmm, that's a bad business practice... they are doing everything they can to stop loosing their clients... Didn't they email you special offers if you transfer the domain name back to you?

    Did the automated phone call mention anything about Register.com? It could be that it's NOT Register.com at all!
    Profoundly influenced by #Bauhaus, @Nameslave unrepentantly embraces #Minimalism in his #multimedia portfolio. His early works include an experimental adaptation of Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard inspired at least partly by Robert Fripp. His totally irrelevant M.Ed. dissertation examines Organizational Culture and Change Management.

    Is that even legal?

    I received one of these several months ago and posted my experience on this site. I waited for an operator and b*tch her out bigtime. I brought up the legal issue among dirty tactics (the domain they called about is with another registar). I was very unhappy and told her to never contact me again. She took down my name and number and sor, no contact from Register.com. Not even thier snail mail.
    Track emails that you send, PM me to find out how....

    If you record your calls where you state take me off your list and document this and they continue to call you. You can actually sue them for like $500-$1500 per offense. There is one I know who sues companies to make money this way. shhh don't tell anyone
