Hello everyone.
I made a kind of "backorder" on the Register.com website for a domain, a LN.com, that was expiring.
I made a call at the Register.com support and an operator told me to make an offer into Register.com for that domain, an offer starting from $200.
I made this offer ($300) thinking to have the opportunity to go in a private auction if they would capable to grab the domain when expired (I made the same with pool and snapnames, as ever).
Then, Afternic charged me for $69. I believed that this $69 charge was for "checking my credit cards", like pool do the first time you backorder a domain.
Intead of this backorder, Afternic brang me into a "private offer trought them for the domain owner" and they sent me an appraisal for this name.
Here is the scam: I paid $69 and made a $300 offer to be, eventually, in a private auction, and they say that this $69 are for their fantastic appraisal:sigh2:
I hope to talk here with someone from Register.com or Afternic.
