Domain Names NZ promises refund
12.08.2003
The Australian who mass-mailed New Zealand internet domain name owners inviting them to sign up for an over-priced and probably unnecessary extra domain says he will give refunds to those who feel unhappy.
The Commerce Commission has issued a warning about the letters from Domain Names NZ, which seeks payment of $237 to register the .net.nz version of existing .co.nz address.
"The commission is concerned that current registrants of .co.nz may be being misled into thinking they are paying to re-register their current domain name," said fair trading director Deborah Battell.
But Domain Names NZ head Chesley Rafferty is all injured innocence.
"I have done nothing wrong but I have upset people in the industry because I have gone out to make an honest dollar in a proactive fashion," Rafferty said.
