Dean Allen of Textism<\/a> is right when he says, “Un fucking believable.”<\/font><\/p>\n

Leslie Harpold<\/a>, a nice person who almost always has something interesting to say, has apparently had her domain, Hoopla.com, stolen out from under her. On the 9th, she wrote:<\/p>\n

The name wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t set to expire until June. They<\/a> think (no one is willing to commit to any answer) there may have been a faxed request (faked? forged?) to have the domain transferred to this Sarah person<\/a> which gave them \u00e2\u20ac\u0153my\u00e2\u20ac\u009d permission for the transfer (naturally I wrote no such letter, sent no such fax, and I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been in Germany since 1995). So the person swiped it, simply by faxing a forged letter to NetSol as best I can tell. I got no notice via email or land mail, they just did it on the authority of a fax.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve made a bunch of calls, written them another fax with my info and have been told to wait up to 48 hours which is about 10 minutes from now. I called a couple times for progress notes in the interim and was given really clearly scripted answers by customer support. No one who answers the phone is willing to connect me to someone who works on this issue which I find deeply disturbing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And then, today:<\/p>\n

So I finally got a call from NetSol this morning and they said, and this is priceless: that it now will be up to the new person with the domain to decide whether or not they feel like giving it up. It seems NetSol is saying \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Well, it probably is our fault\u00e2\u20ac\u009d but because of the way the records have been kept, the person has it as a new registration, which violates (according to NetSol) the whole covenant of the contract I had with them for ownership, but since it was entered as a new registration and not a transfer, they have no option. NetSol admits the screw up is their fault, but that doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re willing to wrest it out of the new registrant\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s grimy hands, because they can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t find the domain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s record of release even though NetSol admits it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t due for renewal until June. I might not ever get it back.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Un fucking believable. And now I’m starting to worry: I’m<\/em> registered through Network Solutions.<\/font>
