I just received a "renewal" email from Namesbeyond, but the names listed on the email are at answerable. Is this a scam or are they a Answerable reseller and just are confused. I won the names from a snap auction. :?:
 
their trying to charge you a fee, yes it is a scam.. they steal WHO IS info and try to scam you for the renewal fee.
 
although I see the name in my answerable list of domains,
here is the who is info:

Registrar: 2030138 ONTARIO, INC. DBA NAMESBEYOND.COM DBA GOODLUCKDOMAIN.COM

Whois Server: whois.namesbeyond.com

Referral URL: http://www.namesbeyond.com

Name Server: NS1.PARKED.COM

Name Server: NS2.PARKED.COM

Status: clientTransferProhibited

Updated Date: 17-jun-2010

Expiration Date: 08-jul-2010


are you saying they changed my who is info?
how did they do that?
do they have access to my answerable account?
 
i thought you said your domain is not registered with them? From the who is, they control it and have privacy on.

????
 
It could be the registrar that caught the name on your behalf when you had it backordered at Snap.
 
namesbeyond took over for some registrar that lost its accreditation.
 
the domains are at answerable.
Are you saying answerable has lost its accreditation?
 
Answerable is just an interface to the numerous registrars that catch domains on behalf of Snapnames.
Just transfer away to your usual registrar.
 
can more than one registrar have control of one domain?
I just went into my answerable account and changed the whois info.

What does it say now?
