Bigrock.com????? Im a what...

[TheLegendaryJP]

Odd email tonight, I get a hello and heres your pass/id for a domain registrar called bigrock.com. I login and sure enough I have an account set up there, all info is correct, even the password was one I use.

So what the heck is going on, did a registrar go under somewhere and this is who took over or what, there is no name in the account, no past billing showing... odd.

Anyone get a similar email or know whats up with that?

Same here. I think they've taken over Answerable.

 

[Gerry]

Yes, I got one also. If I am not mistaken, this was a default for Answerable.com.

http://answerable.com/

I had no idea what was up and went back and found an email notification sent out earlier in the month.

 

[TheLegendaryJP]

Ahhhhh ok, when they knew my login and password and all my info was spot on in the account I figured it had to have come from somewhere I had registered a name.

Thanks

This explains why answerable was always so terrible to deal with, there backend was horrible and transferring out was next to impossible.

I still have a name there which I was trying to transfer out since 2009 but all attempts failed as either could not get auth codes or the auth codes they were wrong. Hard to believe ICANN allows registrars like that to operate.

For me it was easier to just let them drop, I hated answerable. They were in my top 3 worst registrars.

i had some problems with registrars that had the same backend as answerable but domains that were actually with answerable.com itself, i never had problems transfering out. heck, they allow you to transfer out way after the domain has been expired and would give you 40 days to renew.

Amen. Or, they would just outright steal them. Such is life owning several hindi keywords and dealing with Answerable/Directi.

I know, a few years ago I let almost 100 mostly .com names (some good) drop since EasySpace.com (an exptremely bad UK registrar as are others in the UK for some odd reason) refused to give the auth codes unless I first paid a high undisclosed and non-agreeable 'transfer out' fee.
