enom Beware of eNom : domain thieves

[keyser]

To be fair, I rate eN services good overall and mistakes may happen. After all, it was a kind of amusing, kafkaesque experience for $79 only

Interesting, I found this thread after searching for "We're sorry, there has been a problem. Technicians have been notified. Code E3."

A new interesting case may emerge. Will keep this thread updated very soon.

A large portion of the names for sale on namejet are expired enom names or names owned by enom themselves, typically after a customer of theirs has failed to renew them.. it sounds like somehow it made it into this gray region of semi-expired / somewhat owned by Enom names, as to how or why that happened is the greater question.

Nameyourself, I am in this industry for ten years now, so no need to explain how expiring names @enom come to NJ
Issue I was talking about yesterday has been solved now.

I had a similar but smaller problem. I bought a dropped domain at snapnames. It ended up with a crappy registrar. As soon as 60 days passed I transferred out to name.com. A few weeks later I was checking my domains and noticed one more year wasn't added to he domain after the transfer. I contacted Name.com and they said the previous registrar probably didn't pay the registry fee yet which caused the problem. Name.com manually added one more year to the domain for free. Something similar might have caused the problem in your case.
