Network Solutions scamming domain names

By VaBeachKevin | January 9, 2008

There is a great post up over at SEOmoz about Network Solutions getting shady with grabbing domain names, loading them with PPC ads, then getting a refund if you didn’t come back and buy the domain name from them within 5 days. Not sure if it is true, not think it is illegal, but it just feels wrong for us guys just checking if a domain name is available and what to start something up. I use Godaddy, and think I will stick with them.
