23444986.jpgOkay, this is the sequel to the great chat session that follows the previous one’s with Aplus.  Remember how we registered a .us domain previously.. Yeah! Sequel to that … the problem is that Aplus got a hole in their system somehow … make sure to read my post in Tech-no-logic section later on about it as i’ll go much deeper to that but for right now here is the chat session with Aplus tech support and my friend Umair:

henryg: Hello! How may I help you?
Visitor50177: hi
henryg: hello
henryg: May i have your registration number, please
Visitor50177: sure
Visitor50177: AP***********
henryg: Where was i born ?
Visitor50177: i dunno
Visitor50177: ?
Visitor50177: where were you born?
henryg: no
henryg: no you ?
henryg: this is the security question for the account
Visitor50177: i was born in ************
henryg: thank you
henryg: how may i help you
Visitor50177: ok so i registered a domain last night
Visitor50177: and i signed up for 1 year
Visitor50177: but the control panel and email say… it will expire december 07
Visitor50177: what is that all about?
henryg: you talking about (DOMAIN REMOVED).us ?
Visitor50177: yes sir
henryg: let me check
Visitor50177: you still checking.. :(
henryg: it is because this domain was aready registered by somebody else
Visitor50177: so then why did your site let me register it?
henryg: now i will open a ticket to the Admin and the domain registration in your account will be closed
henryg: and the money will be refunded back
Visitor50177: but i want that site
henryg: but the domain was registered back in December last year
henryg: from ENOM
Visitor50177: but then how come aplus let me register it?
Visitor50177: i even talked to a live chat personnel last night and they assured me it was an open domain
henryg: because we check after the payment is made
henryg: now in this case this was a system error
henryg: that is why we will refund you the money back
Visitor50177: i believe there should be some sort of incentive for me, since i was given false hope and information. I have been a customer with Aplus for years now, and i have many domains
henryg: sir, did you do a whois before the registration ?
Visitor50177: no i did not, because when i went to aplus.net and i put in the domain i wanted it listed it was available
henryg: if you try to register microsoft.com
henryg: the system will charge you and will try to get that domain
henryg: of course it will fail
henryg: but this is how it works
Visitor50177: so thats how your regular customers are treated?
henryg: how i treated you ?
Visitor50177: not you in general, but the company.
henryg: i explaine you everithing, how it is
Visitor50177: ok
Visitor50177: well then i guess i will take my refund
Visitor50177: and a free year of domain hosting
henryg: yes, in 24-48 hours the refund will be back to you
Visitor50177: so i will get my free year in 24-48 hours as well?
henryg: sir there are no free year of hosting
Visitor50177: but i thought we agreed on that?
Visitor50177: that would be my incentive
henryg: i did not say anithing like that
Visitor50177: are you sure?
henryg: positive
henryg: the chat log is infront of me
Visitor50177: ok, so then what incentive can i get?
Visitor50177: maybe a free domain name
henryg: i can not give you anything
Visitor50177: i think you can , but you just don’t want to
henryg: i can not
henryg: level 1 techs can not do that
Visitor50177: ok, so then who can i talk to?
henryg: you can talk with one of our supervisors
henryg: but you need to call to the general line
Visitor50177: what is the number?
Visitor50177: and the name of the person i need to talk to?
henryg: 1.888.301.2516
henryg: explaine the issue to the tech and ask for supervisor
Visitor50177: uhu.. hmmm
Visitor50177: i see
Visitor50177: im so sad
henryg: smile
henryg: do not be sad
Visitor50177: but its my birthday and everything is going wrong
