| e-fat.com RETRIEVED! _________________________ |
They blinked! I am happy to report that I have
retrieved e-fat.com, the domain
stolen from me last year by Register.com and New Ventures Services.
For more info on
how Register.com and their related registrars steal domains from their
customers and extort them through their shell company New Ventures Services,
see these posts:
For now, e-fat.com redirects to this post,
cloaked, just because I can...
New Ventures
Services had dropped the domain (just like I knew they would), and I was able
to hand register it on August 7, 2015, through Go Daddy for a mere $8.37, not
the $125.00 these sharks wanted to charge me.
I realize that
this isn’t a high value domain, what with that hyphen, BUT it was one of the
domains I had registered early in my career (2004), and it is kind of special
to me, which is why I have placed a high price on it (in other words, I don’t
really want to sell it).
Over the past
year, I would check the Whois for it, and each time, New Services Vultures, uh,
Ventures had slapped a higher price on it:
-- $125.00 (Quoted
to me by “Jenny” at Register.com)
-- $377.00
-- $577.00
-- $877.00
-- $1077.00
(toward the end, bwahahahahaha!)
This upward tiered pricing, I’m sure,
was done out of spite because I refused to cave into their extortive demands,
and I kept checking the Whois for it.
But, for today, a
good guy has won!
Happy dance!
