RE: Register.Com sending letters now???!!!

[Chris Scott]

In the case of Register.com, it looks like they are soliciting previous customers.  We received a notice the other day from them that listed about ten domains that were originally registered through them but since transferred to OpenSRS.  I didn't think it was worth the effort to check, but I'm assuming their TOS and/or privacy policy state that they can continue to market to you after you are no longer a customer unless you explicitly tell them not to--again, just a guess. At least in this case, the notice states renewal and transfer at least twice on the front page in normal type, IIRC.   Chris   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Charles Edmunds Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 1:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Register.Com sending letters now???!!! If a client is lured into transfering to Register.com. Verisign, Domain Registry of America, etc...   Do we have to allow the transfer to go through?  I mean is there a way that we can block the domains from being transfered out of our account and into theirs?  I think this would put a big damper on their solicitation for new customers.   Secondly, where are these companies getting this information?  I would really like to know so that I may contact them and inform them to take me and my clients off of these sold lists.  This is bull$#!*   Thanks,   C.

I had a call a few days ago from a client telling me that he received a renewal letter from Register.Com  - However, I told him not to worry about it and to ignore it as I thought it was some kind of error. But, it seems Register.Com is following the footsteps of the VeriSign idiots.... I am going to post this renewal form on our site in the next 20 minutes or so...(Just in case no one has seen it yet and would like to)   -- Mike Allen, 4CheapDomains.Net [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.4CheapDomains.Net    (812) 275-8425 - Office (815) 364-1278 - Fax
