BIG bulkregister/Enom CON - Taking unauthorized $99 for a membership I have never had

[gingeman]

What is going on? I have noticed in my peripherals that enom aquired bulkregister.com recently.

I did not use bulk register but I had several enom(central) accounts.

Today, I noticed they have automatically billed my credit card for $99 for a membership I have never signed up for??!! WTF?

Is this legal, surely it can't be?

I will obviously be moving all my domains away, it seems like the registrars are getting more and more shady every day, but I am truly surprised they think this is acceptable.

I am totally disgusted with enom, I think the only registrar I completely trust anymore is fabulous...

The enom buyout of bulkregister is not new. I have been with them for years (bulk), and I believe it happened a couple of years ago.

IMHO, Bulk Register was better before the buyout.

Fabulous is great however, and about 70% of my portfolio is with Fab. Dynadot gets most of the other 30% (mainly IDN). The only reason I still use enom/bulk is for domains where I expect there might be legal problems. Managing a lawsuit in Australia can be expensive!

Just a question - did you call them before you posted?
