I suggest you get your facts straight before you get on this list making
accusations. We do NOT contact registrants unless we have had past dealings
with them, this domain must be on our reseller account with Melbourne IT.  I
would say we would have the domain password as well. To say that we have
contacted this registrant and have not had a previous business dealings I
think stinks and what's more I might put this in front our our lawyers for
their opinion. Unless an public apology is made today.
Don't insult our company or business ethics.

Subject: [DNS] unauthorised Domain Transfer/Renewal notice from DDNS


Hi all,

I am writing on behalf of my client.

He received a phone call and then a fax from Discount Domain Name
Services (ddns.com.au) regarding the transfer and renewal of his domain
name.  The fax appears to be a Request for Confirmation email.

Interestingly, my client had not requested to transfer, and we, who
maintain his Web site and look after things on his behalf, .... had not
requested it either.

The letter suggests he sign the Form and post it along with his cheque
back to Discount Domain Name Services.

This letter also says the domain name is with MelbourneIT ... however,
RegistryWeb have conveniently managed to transfer this domain (without
my client's knowledge) this past year,  to PlanetDomain.

I am wondering how DDNS could even manage this transfer/renewal given
that they do not have the Domain Password to initiate such a transfer.
We have been trying to retrieve his Domain Password on behalf of our
client and can't get RegistryWeb or PlanetDomain to send it, so how
could they have it?

Anyone have any comments or suggestions?

Yours Sincerely, Sandra
