After fighting with Oversee about a domain, they finally agreed to transfer the domain back to me. We were notified by Godaddy that that transfer was complete and two hourse later we were hit with a $9.95 admin fee for an invalidwhois complaint. Do not use Godaddy, this is a money grab.

Unfortunately BigDaddy is now stealing domains, using the excuse that WHOIS information is inaccurate, even when it isn’t. Steer well away from this company!

Where are the actual rules? Even we found that the address e.g. email, contact tel with area code etc. are correct the rgistrars send a standard notice of whois update. If the whois info not correct, why the registrars are not compelled to update their database with correct & uptodate whois collected from the registrant? It is obvious that if the sign up with the registrar was many years before the contact address cannot be feasible/updated for hundred of thousand domains if held by any registrant. Here TDNAM
should come up with improved policy how to protect alls ineterests.
Also we observed, despite escured user & password how domains are stollen from the arsenal of the registrar? In that case what action TDNAM might take to return the domain to the original owner/registrant of the domain? Thanks.

Regards,

[...] made to TDNAM, it shows that the company is open to criticism and willing to address issues: it now suspends domains with invalid whois rather than deleting them, and no longer allows employees to bid on TDNAM [...]

Assuming either the Left Wing or the Right Wing gained control of the country, it would probably fly around in circles.
