I baught 5 domain names from them and only one was being hosted by them. But they increased the annual price from 9 dollar to 34 dollars by just sending me one email And there is not contact email but a number which is never attended. I made them hours of calls from Pakistan but they never attended. I changed my card details on my billing info so that they cannot chanrge it but they used my card details from the hosting domain and charged thes 4 domain name renewals without my permission.I am astonished how big fraud they are. This is so sad that, they are indeed white collar criminals but who can stop them and how can we stop them. I am so angry I am cancelling all the services from them and writing my card people not to entertain any charge from Yahoo in the future. Javed Islamabad, Pakistan Dear Friends,

I had 23 Domains with Yahoo and ended up having to change them to GoDaddy. I complained to Yahoo and cussed out a few people there for raising the price on the domains. Another thing I think is BS is there site builder software. They code things different so once your with them and have your sites built you are stuck with them and can not change your site over without rebuilding the whole thing. There doing everything they can to keep you stuck with them and it's BS. I have finally figured out a way to transfer my site to dreamweaver software and switched everything over to my GoDaddy account. I canceled all my domains that I was not using and switched the others over. If anybody needs help transfering a site let me know. I will be glad to help and get people away from Yahoo. Excellent article by the way. More of us need to post this info to try and save any body else from making the same mistake. Good luck with whatever you do about the situation. Too bad there is not a way we can sue them for this action. I had the exact same problem. i have written about this on my personal blog also.

I also hope that you have contacted your local law enforcement agency and inquired about legal proceedings - fraud is illegal.

They are bad because their information in search is so out dated. I think you should just file a small small claim against Yahoo. Never let them fly. Read another article about “why Yahoo sucks”.

A situation like that should never have been over looked. What Yahoo did was the "Bait and Switch" method. A dirty Marketing Trick: Wikipedia Definition: "In retail sales, a bait and switch is a form of fraud in which the party putting forth the fraud lures in customers by advertising a product or service at an unprofitably low price, then reveals to potential customers that the advertised good is not available but that a substitute is." I this case, the Bait was the $1.99 for the first year, then the Switch in this case was the $34.95 price tag. The Domain is no longer available for the agreed $9.95 fee, but now the substitute price of $34.95 for the same cheap domain, is what you are forced to pay. I'll probably add this point about the "Bait and Switch" to the Blog post tomorrow. What Yahoo did was to set a ridiculously low price, and with their reputation, everyone will trust the service, so that yahoo catches an enormous amount of buyers.
