Hi Genie and Robert M. and gang ;o)
Well, just an update. You guys were right. We start another transfer
this AM and he got a e-mail this time saying: "domain expired/unpaid" even
though he has a credit card to prove he paid NetZero. Who is even shows
what he has "Actually" paid for.....
Is their ANYTHING compliance or someone at OpenSRS can do at all to get
them to stop these shit eating tactics and let this through. If so we will
have many other domains from this customer in the near future ;o) (Sorry
for the language - just ticks me off big time - Too bad the whole domain
business wasn't as honest as 98% of us!
