BuyDomains is trying to start transfers on domains I own. I got this email today:
"BuyDomains.com recently received a request to change the registrar of your domain names listed below. This process adds 1 year(s) to each domain's expiration date, and switches control of the domains from your current registrar to BuyDomains.com. Switching to BuyDomains.com gives you many benefits, including award-winning customer service, hassle-free contact updates, toll-free telephone support, and friendly, personalized service."
It also provided a link to a transfer URL.
When I wrote them and asked them why I got this transfer...this was their response:
"If you do not wish to transfer to us then disregard the email we sent. Nothing can be done to your domain without your consent."
So now BuyDomains is either:
1 - Hijacking domains
or
2 - Starting transfers without the owners consent.
Either way, BuyDomains is doing unethical things.
