Beware with globat

[elmister]

In last April i registered 9 domain names with Globat.com, with their 1.95$ offer, before buying i carefully checked their terms and conditions, there was no fine print, only that renewal price would be 14.95$.

About 2 months registration i transfered away to registerfly, with one of RF's offers, domains are not with Globat.

Today, i got 7 emails like this.

Only 2 things, there was no "previous notices", and there was no hosting account to upgrade, my credit card was charged 279.65$ for hosting accounts i've never asked for and i've never received.
After complaining, they have only refunded one of the charges, tomorrow i'll go to the bank to start a chargeback (domains are not with globat, they can't lock my account)

If you registered domains with Globat.com, BE CAREFUL, transfer them away

Is it free to transfer with globat? Moreover, has anyone else had bad experiences with globat?

No free rides. I got screwed with Yahoo once. Only use credible registrars.

You get what you paid for... I've been through Yahoo and Globat and for the hassle both have caused, I'm never biting on more sub-pricing deals.
