So I’m documenting this cautionary tale because I feel I owe it to other poor unsuspecting domain name owners and businesses to NEVER trust any network solutions company (web.com, networksolutions.com, register.com), with your domains. Why? Because they allowed our domain to be stolen clean out of our account despite appropriate checks. But I’m jumping ahead. Lets start from the beginning…
Remember, we never sought this domain name. NameKart contacted us out of the blue. And with these domain brokers, you buy it from them, you never find out who the owner actually is. And having paid for it, we didn’t receive it for days and then when we did we were told we had to transfer it into a networksolutions account that we had to set up and specify.
Full article...Then 3 months to the day later, a transfer request came in. Despite deauthorizing it, making sure the transfer lock was on and changing all security it was transferred out of the account. And was immediately up for sale with a new domain broker. Again, without it being possible to know who owns it now. My mind is perhaps over-thinking it but what if this whole thing is just a setup. What if the person or person(s) behind this have help within networksolutions or indeed work there?
@namekart, any superfluous details to add?
