Just a quick note:
When advertising with Superpages, you will likely be sold a free trial for a website. They basically take your business name and add a 'dot com' to the end and put up a quick template.... then the fun begins.
They register YOUR domain, and if you are lucky, they will release it back to you for $50. But you will have to fight for it!!
I have done a little research and even seen people getting billed right away for this overpriced web hosting service.
I just hate it when some supposedly legitimate business entity scams their clients like this under the guise of a free trial.
I learned of this when it happened to a friend of mine.... he couldn't imagine that anyone else would have registered his domain. Then after a quick search, we found out who owned it. The scammers at Superpages.
Now, they are stalling on the transfer.... but he had to give them $50 for the process to start. This is the classic scam of opening up a free account for you and then reusing to close it at your request.
Wish my friend good luck!!
Man, people will do anything for a buck these days...
Thanks for posting and making us aware.
