Scammed by Europe Registry?
This company charged me €60 for registration of 3 .eu domains back in late 2005. The registration never took place because the .eu domains in question were subsequently registered in the sunshine period by others.
Europe Registry should have never charged my credit card for domain registrations in advance, registrations that were unlikely to materialize, and never took place anyway.
Moreover, they should have given me the option of refunding the money, something they never did. They instead issued me “credit” for future domain registrations. Note that .eu domains now cost as low as 4 times less at competing registrars.
Europe Registry insists they acted legally, point to their fine print, and refuse to issue me a refund. As of this writing, their website is offline:
