Suspicious Verisign renewal

Their domain expire date in renewal center is showing early expiration.

I noticed something very suspicious in the Verisign Domain Renewal center. Some of my domains that expire in 2003 or 2004 show that they expire in 2002. But if I click the next button to renew it shows the correct expiration dates which match Whois. Are they trying to scare me into renewing by showing a fake early expiration? Has anyone else seen this in their Verisign account?

spam - look closely, is it your exact domain or something realy close (1 letter changed)

a domain has "fair" they try to pass off "fare" to me.

From working with them in the past, They used to have like 3 or 4 independent systems that all do the same thing. They are really a registrar with technology that dates back quite far. Things like email template systems. They are moving some of the records off the old system and on to the newer ones. I bet it is a harmless mistake, one of these days everything should all be in one system and all information should be synced. Or it could be a internal data source that is not synced. NSI doesn’t display true registry create dates they show NSI registrar create dates. It is one big confusing system that some how operates.

I believe it an affiliated things.

First notice came from an Australian company, then Verisign.

I requested a fax of the original invoice, they politely indicated that don't maintain those records. I asked for a fax of the original Card Credit transactions I was told by Austrailian law they can't provide that infromation (although true in all United Nation Countries to find out).

I didn't hear back from them but month later Verisign notice appeared.

My register was neither of these two, however, after some really valgor language it was slipped that my registra was an affiliate of Australia and they were affiliate with Verisign.

We transferred everything registra, host, e-commerce.

It suck to be them....

What I am talking about is the verisign.com website. I see the problem in their renewal center. It lists all the domains you have in your account with expiration dates.

and yours do not expire until 2003 and 2004 right!

Don't worry about this - it is an unsolicited email trying to get you to

transfer registra to paid more money or

purchase a domain name that you never owned but it looks alot like one you own.

ipohopper is not talking about the emails. He is talking about the control panel inside Network Solutions administration area.
