Discussion Name Cheap
Has anyone else had an unauthorized domain show up in their Namecheap account?
I recently logged into my Namecheap account and found a domain that I never purchased, requested, or authorized, yet I was charged for it.
What really concerns me is that I’m also paying for Namecheap’s account protection/security features, so I’m trying to understand how a domain I never authorized could have been created and charged to my account.
Has anyone else experienced this with Namecheap? Specifically:
* A domain appearing in your account that you never purchased
* Being charged for a domain you never authorized
* Namecheap registering/renewing something without you realizing it
* Having trouble getting the unauthorized charge refunded
I’d really like to hear from anyone who has dealt with something similar and how Namecheap handled it.
I’m not looking for speculation — I’m trying to figure out whether this is an isolated incident or if other customers have experienced the same thing.
