How many of you have received "domain expiration notices" from Domain Registry of America?
I received an email from a client today where they didn't know what to do with a notice that said their domain transfer was unable to be completed without contacting their current registrar to release the domain name for transfer. Seems the company "Domain Registry of America" had sent a letter to them and a secretary thinking that she was renewing the domain filled in the form and sent it back. Now this domain doesn't expire until Aug 2004 so there is no need to renew right now (we just renewed it 2 months ago) and she didn't understand the fine print that said domain registration would be transferred to "Domain Registry of America" so she didn't know what to do when she received the email telling her that there was a problem transferring the domain. Domain Registry of America tells me that "only" the secretary who replied to the letter is authorized to cancel the transfer. I told them it didn't matter because there was a domain lock and I am the one authorized to release it so they would never complete the transfer and if they billed for the transfer I'd report them to the Attorney General for Deceptive Trade Practices since the secretary is not listed anywhere on the domain info.
