i'm so mad, i can barely type ...
i have had an account with networksolutions for 12 years now but this has got to be the bluntest ripoff ever.
i searched for a domainname for a friends company and found it available. i went and registered it using my networksolutions account. they charged my CC.
then, this morning, i get any email saying:
============================
Subject: Unable To Process Your Order
Dear Network Solutions® Customer,

============================
no reason why it couldn't be processed. nada.
so i go and do a whois on the domain name and what do you know, it's now registered to Networksolutions and a "Under construction" page is up and a link where you can make an *Offer* to buy the name from them ...
that has got to be the biggest ripoff ever ...
