BulkRegister, a domain-name seller, has filed a lawsuit against VeriSign, to stop a direct-marketing campaign that allegedly sought to trick domain name owners into switching their accounts to VeriSign, according to Reuters.
The suit, filed Monday, charged that VeriSign used false advertising to steal customers from rivals by mailing thousands of “domain name expiration” notices that imply that domain-names owners could lose control of their names if they do not return the form along with $29 by May 15, the report said.
The campaign has drawn protests from other name sellers like GoDaddy Software.
BulkRegister is based in Baltimore, MD.
