Hi guys,
I have an interesting situation with Afternic again.
Some prick have listed one of my domains with the Afternic and set a joke price.
I received an email about this listing from the Godaddy with two links.
First one is a text - "Authorize your participation in Afternic."
Second one is on a button - "Authorize Now"
It looks the Godaddy has formatted this email that way intentionally to increase a possibility of accidental click.
So when I tried to copy a text - "Authorize your participation in Afternic" I clicked it accidentally. I've closed opened web browser right away.
I wanted to copy the text to paste it in a chat with Afternic support.
So as a result my domain was listed.
I asked Afternic support to remove this listing because it wasn't me who listed it.
An answer was - "You need to register with Afternic and pass through some verification process to remove it..."
They were forcing me to register with them. I declined it because I don't need it and I have already had an extremely bad experience with them..So they declined to remove it.
Finally I found login/pass for my old account with the Afternic and tried to add my domain to my account using TXT record but I was unable to do it because of some issue with system update or sync update and I need to wait up to 48 hours.
The main reason I worried about is Fast-Transfer. Previously I had an issue with this option exactly ...
What if Fast-Transfer is enabled ? What if the domain name was listed intentionally to steal it paying few coins ?
I spent 5 hours on Sunday before the issue was solved instead of spending my time with my family.
The Afternic support said - we cannot verify an ownership while somebody adds a domain name to the Afternic because of a huge quantity of requests. But if you need to remove a domain name from the system you need to be registered with the Afternic and pass a domain verification by adding a special TXT record in DNS settings...
This is hell.
To remove my domain which was listed by somebody else I have to have an account with them and verify the ownership of my domain that was listed by some prick without verification.
I don't want to have anything related to the Afternic - "I don't want to touch this even with a 16-meter pole."
What do you think ?
Regards,
V.
