|  Warning!! Beware of two clever, fraudulent Internet registrars - joker.com & registryweb.com and warn your friends and family not to deal with these companies! The Internet scam in short: 1. Joker.coms reseller, registryweb.com an Australian company - lures you in by offering inexpensive domain registration. They do not mention the real registrar, joker.com. 2. Shortly after, registryweb.com claims they no longer manage the domains, but that joker.com a German/Swiss company - do. All you have to do is to login to a servicezone and take control of your domains. 3. However, you cannot login to the service zone at joker.com as your email address now is invalid due to joker.com changing the original email address to one of their own desire (established and owned by themselves), thereby controlling the domains in full. 4. After several attempts to make joker.com change their own email addresses back to your own, they now demand money to do so - without any guarantee that, after you pay, they won't change they email addresses again, thus once again assume control over your domains. 5. By the way, none of the crooks answers any telephone of fax calls. Joker.com has a robot answer your emails under the name of Joachim Rolf (German nickname for incompetence). Registryweb.com just doesnt answer. Godaddy.com merely incompetent, or .? To make things even worse, one of our domains was hosted by godaddy.com - but last week the website and all our emails suddenly stopped working. Without our knowledge and information the domain has been moved from godaddys nameserver back to an invalid name server at joker.com! When we asked godaddy.com how this could happen without our knowledge they gave an explanation that we should change our password as our account must have been compromized. We made several attemps to get more detailed info from them on the matter, but godaddy.com never bothered to return with any further explanations - except of course continously using our credit card information to pay for them hosting our domain from an invalid name server! We have more than once reported these problems to ICANN, that has both joker.com and godaddy.com as accredited registrars, but ICANN has proven to be a totally useless organization! Advice will be received with gratitude as to how we can get our three domains, back, now stolen by joker.com.

 | scam Godaddy could be merely incompetent. When they said "we should change our password as our account must have been compromized," they could mean it. Joker, as you now know is a fraudulent company, could have stolen it. ICANN can only do so much. Also, all four/three (if joker and registryweb are the same) companies probably recieve hundreds of emails a day and can only reply so fast. Besides, would you honestly trust two companies named godaddy and joker? They don't sound respectable to me...
