Network Solutions: Scan A Name With Them…They Register It!

January 10th, 2008 By Nicholas James

Network Solutions are registering every available dot com you scan with them imagine all those trademarks you could registered with them just to get back at them for doing so.

I’m not going to post a live demo on here, to avoid any legal issues with the company. However, you can always do a private demo yourself ;) by finding a name that’s available and scanning if its available with them, then checking a whois service roughly 10 minutes at the most later.

You’ll then learn never to scan with NetSol unless you want them to register really rubbish names.

Wow, finally someone brings it to light! They have been pulling this for years, so nice of them to be such an honest company isn’t it?? And people wonder why it’s hard to trust on the internet!

Yeah, i felt i had to post about them. Hopefully either ICANN will limit the amount of times they can do it (they must be averaging like 10-15k domains/day then dropping them 5 days later) or alter the ruling.
