John, I recieved a number
of confusing Emails in August from Regland and Domainzoo6 August from DOMAINZOO
"Dear
Regland.com Customer:
DomainZoo.com has been selected to submit your .info & .biz
pre-registrations during the "Land Rush Period" prior to the public launch of .info
and .biz."
15 August from DOMAINZOO
"CLARIFICATION:
DomainZoo.com would like
to apologize for any confusing and unauthorized emails you may have received regarding
your Pre-registered .info and .biz domains. An unauthorized email was issued claiming
that DomainZoo.com had made an Error. We at DomainZoo.com would like to clarify that
there has not been an error and that we do in fact, have an agreement with Regland
to submit .info & .biz pre-registrations for actual registration prior to the public
launch of these new gTLDs.
Please be assured, as an ICANN accredited registrar
for .info & .biz we intend to process your previously submitted order for actual
registration. However, due to all the confusion we would like you to confirm
your request and to authorize your credit card charge."
27 August from REGLAND
"The
DomainZoo email was in error.
RegLand.com is NOT out of business.
RegLand.com
has completed agreements with multiple registrars to get your names submitted for
registration.
DomainZoo is submitting a total of FOUR (4) applications for EACH
of your RegLand.com Pre-registrations which have already been paid for by RegLand.com.
NO ADDITIONAL FEES WILL BE CHARGED FOR YOUR PRE-REGISTRATION.
IF you visited
DomainZoo's site and were charged, ALL charges made by DomainZoo prior to this email
in conjunction with RegLand customers, will be voided.
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!
There
was a GROSS misunderstanding between the DomainZoo CEO and his management staff in
charge of handling the RegLand.com submissions, the email that went out and the process
in general.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW?
1. Please disregard all PRIOR emails from
DomainZoo as they are completely in error.
2. If you visited the DomainZoo site
because of the PRIOR email and entered your credit card and you were charged a fee,
ALL FEES CHARGED BY DOMAINZOO PRIOR TO THIS MESSAGE WILL BE VOIDED IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
3.
You will receive an official apology letter from the CEO of DomainZoo. The
apology letter will also confirm that any charges made by DomainZoo prior to this
email will be voided.
4. Following the apology letter, you will receive a corrected
email that will contain correct information and instructions on how to confirm your
pre-registration (NO FEES WILL BE CHARGED FOR YOUR REGLAND PRE-REGISTRATIONS).
You will receive a total of FOUR (4) applications for EACH of your RegLand pre-registrations
(which amount to four "chances" to get the domain name you want) from DomainZoo AT
NO CHARGE TO YOU. You will be required to enter a valid credit card, but this
will ONLY be charged upon a SUCCESSFUL DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION when you gain actual
USE of the domain name. If your domain name is NOT successfully registered,
YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED and your credit card information will be deleted immediately."

August from DOMAINZOO
"If you received an unauthorized email which stated that
we made an "error" then please disregard it. DomainZoo.com did not issue that
email, which was issued without our consent. However, please be assured
it did not affect your order."
- In the end I didn't get an apology letter from
the CEO of Domainzoo, they said no mistake had been made and kept my money.
I am now just waiting for access to my .info account when they finally get round
to giving me a User ID and password.
