One of our clients has been receiving notices from Network Solutions about
payment on a domain name. The domain was moved into the OpenSRS system over
30 days before the NetSol invoice was due. However, they received three
"Payment Due" invoices and just received a "Deactivation Notice" today.
Normally I'd just ignore an illegal activity like this, however the client
keeps asking if they should pay it "just in case". I'm wondering how many
of our clients paid Network Solutions
and never bothered to ask why they were paying two different companies for
the same domain name.
Is there no action that can be taken against Network Solutions for these
types of business practices?
It seems once a domain hits NetSol's billing cycle (30 days before due
date), there's no way to get it out w/o personal contact to a NetSol rep.
Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm in the process of writing an
email to all our clients who changed registrars to OpenSRS to notify us at
once if they are approached by NetSol with an invoice.
Best,
Brian Curtis
