Yes, but I've been their customer for about 3 years and I've been a Nigerian throughout that time, so I don't understand why they've decided to do this. 

I don't believe in curses, or I would have cursed their children and childrens' children  Angry.

I think every step of the Nigerians online is been watched out Sad... because they think we are all bloody thiefs Angry... So bad   Embarrassed

The whole internet thinks we are bad, because 99% of the online Nigerians prefer to destroy than to creat... So many hackers, fraudlents and even thiefs...

I am very sad... We need to stand up for our nation...

Well, I dont think they would hold my domain name just because of the name i use... besides, It took me quite a long period of time to think of the name clue boy.

It's been a long time that i've started building the site Clue Boy, it was a great miracle that i was lucky to have it... I was so surprised and shocked when I saw i won the domain name competition on .

Yo would'nt believe it if you see how i've build up my site... I wanted to host it withing the next month or so... but now, I dont think so... well, maybe if they realise my account.

Can you have access to that domain in question for transfers? Have you tried contacting Registerfly?

Yes Seun,

They still contact me about there new offers, new prizes and domain name renewal... So I think that has to do with nothing... maybe they have included our email in there newsletters list because we had an account with them.

For me, I think I have to register another domain name with a new different name... mess Registerfly.com and there services... I hate them to the bastered level

My domain was also blocked.  Though it was functional after the blockage but i dont have accessto change the host (now that i need to change it).  Remember we bought it legally.[b][/b] I dont know why they do this.

I was able to get my account unlocked by sending the scanned image of the credit card showing the last 4 digits and a recent bank statement to risk@registerfly.com.

Congratulations on the new name, though it's not as catchy as Clueboy and more prone to misspelling.  Did you read Choosing a Domain Name? Factors to Consider?

« #20 on: October 08, 2005, 10:10 PM »

Oh... Seun, I've read that post since...

The fact is that I decided to use http://www.rufaai.com because am going to make it as catchy as possible... Believe me seun, am gonna make wonders...

Besides, the name looks a little better than clueboy.com dont you think so?

Re: Clueboy.com Has been Siezed (Account Restricted)
« #21 on: October 09, 2005, 12:24 PM »

Well, some people are going to by typing "rufai.com" instead of "rufaai.com" but that can be managed, I guess.

Re: Clueboy.com Has been Siezed (Account Restricted)
« #22 on: October 09, 2005, 01:58 PM »

Exactly, I wanted to register www.rufai.com istead of www.rufaai.com but someone already own it... there is nothing i could do...

Besides, i even suggested www.clueboy.net but all the same thing... i later said why not www.rufaai.com when i use it as my email and web ID?

Don't worry about it.  THe name is good enough.  Now let's see what kind of site you're going to build!

I thought I was the only one until I found so many reports all over the internet:

http://www.freeforums.com/showthread.php?t=4532

I felt very sorry for myself and those who have suffered. Time, money, domains, business, efforts, ,  ALL GONE and no one to help. Absolutely no one!! Is there no law in the country? May years of hard work gone down the drain. Talk about ethics ,

The scenario: Yes, wait until it is about time for domain renewal and then charge, a few times!!! Customers will of course contact Credit Card company and seek refund and Credit Card company will effect a chargeback. 

Then your account will be transfered to a "FRAUD" account and suspended. Then one will be told to pay the chargeback and activation fee or that's it!! So more income (extra) for the registrar. Makes it look like a LEGAL way to earn a lot of extra money. Don't pay activation fee --- good, they get your domains and whatever credit balance you have because their policy said those are non-refundable if I've not read wrongly. Pay activation fee and chargeback -- ridiculous, I've done nothing wrong!

Very bad business model - very unethical. I feel that "Something" is definitely going on there.

Thanks for sharing.  I've moved almost all my domains away from them.  Never do business with a company that is too large to be hurt significantly when you withdraw your business.
