Network Solutions review: unauthorized credit card charges 18

I too am a victim of this practice. I had no products on auto renew because I have gone through this with them before, but suddenly they claim I had products on auto renew and then charged me for three years of a hosting package and two domains I didn't want to renew. Over $400 in charges! I called, complained, was given a ### number and told I would receive my refund in 8 to 10 days and they pulled the same thing. Here I am again waiting for my refund. They are thieves! But how can I fight back? My credit card company won't help either_--All of them are M'F'n Thieves!

Same complaint. These people will not let a domain expire. If they have a credit card on file with another domain name, they will use it. I have filed a compliant with my credit card company.

I too agree with the complaints about Network Solutions making unauthorized charges and making unauthorized debits of consumers/customers. If anyone does a search you'll find a link about a law suit settlement when the FTC got involved. If anyone experiencing billing issues and practices of Network Solution think about calling the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Also think about calling your local television station and explain you would like to speak to a consumer advocate. I repeatedly asked Network Solutions that I didn't want to renew my domain name and asked them to remove my debit card information, I was told by the customer service person that they will not the account and no longer bill me.. Come to find the made an unauthorized debit. Perhaps the FTC needs to take another look at their practices.

Same here, they apparently are auto renewing no mater what you have set up on you r account. I even requested on the phone that the auto renewal be turned off but they still began charging for multiple year renewals.. I am in the process of a refund but do not have the money in my hand...

I was advised by Network Solutions that they are going out of business and being bought by web.com. I paid network solutions for 3 web sites. They built one particular site trusting that they would do a good job. Turns out, they never added any content to make it SEO friendly. There are no back links, metatags and keywords added to the site which translates that no one could see the site if they wanted to!

If you call these companies, rest assured that you will wait anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour on hold to speak with someone!. Then you will be transferred around until someone with a litttle intelligence gets you to the right department. There you will be greeted by an employee who is condesconding, rude and totally unprofessional!

When you ask for a name, they will throw you some generic name and will not give an employee ID. How many of you are sick of waiting on hold and then speaking with someone who wants your entire life history but yet will not give any of their information out to you. They treat you like they are above you. The calls are also recorded by yet they do not give you warning at the beginning of the call about the recording. If you call them and this happens, call the police.

To salvage my site and try to get back business I lost, I purchased their "gorilla marketing" services. For this money taking money off my credit card each month, they promised me in return a huge push in the search engines for my site. I was told verbatim that I would see results in 30 days and top 2 pages in less than 90 days.

It has been 4 months now and I never heard back from my rep. and I can find my site listed in any search engines! When I challenged them on that, they told me it would take time but could not tell me approx. how long that might be. I asked them to send me the keywords they used but they did not send it. I believe that this company is nothing but a warehouse fraud. Like other scam companies, Network Solutions hire their employees to heard up the cattle to make their millions but do not deliver on results or customer service.

I found my site listed on google by typing in my exact company name and fpound to my utter dispair that the description under my company name was all html code! When I questioned them about that, they also blamed me on it! I also found out they never linked all of my domains that point to the site.

To date, I never have received any business calls from my site or google search because Network Solutions and web.com ripped me off!

I did some research today and I could not find my web site listed on the first 20 pages! They simply stole my money and did nothing. In fact, I got a supervisor on the phone that told me that I was responsible for doing the work myself!

As for web.com, they are worse. They treat you with disrespect and are rude and disrepectful. They also have a habit of talking over you at every chance. Last week, I was on the phone with about 9 different agents over a span of 7 hours!

Not getting any assistance of any kind, I started to look around on their site for my settings and found out that they never enabled any keywords, metatags, back links, NOTHING! So basically, stole all my money which is now in the thousands and I got no identity on the internet. If you ask for a supervisor, you will be told they only have one and that ONE is not available. Stranger than fiction?

They are also blatant liars when they told me they sent out e-mails they I had to do work on my site! First, no e-mails ever came from them. I checked my mail and spam folder 3 times to make sure. There was nothing there. Besides, what I am paying them for if I (the consumer) have to do the work?

These companies and the people that work for them need to be accountable for their actions. They are criminals because they take your money under false pretentions. This is done over state lines and most likely international which would make it an FBI and Interpol issue. They need to be incarcerated.

Please pass this along to everyone you know so that we can take the trash off the internet. Watdch out for their "FREE WEBSITE" deal they advertise!

I am fed up and will end the years for which I have been a customer. After purchasing a supposedly-sufficient and complete WordPress blog hosting package, the entire thing shuts down after a minimal number of posts to my blog and I get error message (below) that insufficient memory has been allocated to the package (as packaged and sold by Network Solutions). After untold hours fruitlessly trying to solve it, I call customer service and am told there is nothing I can do EXCEPT to pay $59.95 to change the memory settings. Obviously, they should know to include sufficient settings in what they package and sell--rather than do an after-the-fact bait-and-switch to pay them $59.95 to make this simple tweak to THEIR package. There were no options originally offered me to specify a different memory. How many other customers are they ripping off with this $59.95 fee?

Please read my tickets created all in one month !

It contains all the details !

Like other complainants, I too discovered an unauthorized charge from network solutions of $184.30. This action caused me to cancel my credit card, with Chase absorbing the cost and several hours of my time tracking this down. Chase called it credit card fraud. I'm considering filing suit against them and alerting the state attorney.

I am a blogger and hosted with Network Solutions monthly package just to check their service and give a review on web hosts on my Youtube Channel.

I used Network Solutions service for a couple of months for 6 dollars per month. Then they gave me free support time for a month which i subscribed. After a month they when the time of renewal was coming i told them not to renew it and cancel the subscription as i never used the free time and that service was not needed. It costed 20 Dollars i think but they tried to charge me even i said not to charge but due to no balance in card they failed. (The debit card i used with them was specifically for online payments) After a month when i thought they will now charge me they did charged again but with lower value which was 15.99 and this time there was balance in my card. They looted me without asking me and their renewal system can not be turned off for specific service and they will reply your email if you will complain such behavior but they will not return your money or unsubscribe that service. They said to unsubscribe i will have to call them and from a foreign country that will also cost some money. The thing i did is that i have blocked my Debit card and asked for a new one.

They will loot you so do not use them and they will force you as you can stop subscription of the service. There are better services so do not use networksolutions which is owned by web.com

I am not the first victim they are fooling many others. I have used Google cloud, internetbs, namesilo and Amazon but they do not act this way if once auto renew fails. They will ask you for the second time. They are scams they will try to get money out of your account with lower values.

I am also a victim of this scam. I have failed repeatedly to cancel my account and remove my credit card details. Now they have locked me out of the account, I am unable to reset my password and unable to cancel. They have set my renewal to auto renew without my permission.
I am not sure what recourse I have, short of cancelling my credit card to avoid another charge.
This is a nightmare.

I was billed $4.95 on 12/1/21 from webnetworksolutions via my PayPal debit card and don't know who they are. It was reversed and refunded without me having to ask today, 12/3. They are a fraudulent company I found from the following site, with other people that don't know who they are that were billed fraudulently for the same amount as me and up into the thousands, sometimes repeatedly. I'd like to know if they're involved with privacy .com prepaid virtual credit cards (used for trials you don't want to auto renew etc. Here's the site I found similar complaints on https://www.whatsthatcharge.com/WEB-NETWORKSOLUTIONS So, I called them and the guy didn't find anything with the PayPal transaction ID # or my phone number and I wouldn't give him my card number, which he said he needed to search it. He said he'd make sure it doesn't happen again, and he doesn't know anything about me and I have no account with them so obviously he can't stop more charges. I don't want to have to get a new card if they are associated with a company that rightfully has my info.
BUT a malware app "Send to TV" was accidentally downloaded onto my phone on 11/30. I got it and the extra file it hid (com.angry.ray) off and virus scanner said it's clean but I'm worried about all of my personal and bank info now because I still had 7+ events on every day of my Samsung calender starting 12/3 after the virus cleaner. I had to do a bunch of work arounds to have my calendar without those bogus events. (I downloaded Google calendar and turned off it syncing with my Samsung account, so it is/was in my Samsung account even without the Samsung app.)
Update- I've found that the company has had malware that is put on your phone via the widgets/icons on your phone, even for regular apps like Google, YouTube, Facebook. Via the 500, 000+ sites they run it actually self installs from those sites. Look at the Wikipedia on them, many lawsuits.

I've been charged $2000 by Network Solutions and I don't even have an account with them!

We are reselling network solution services. Fraud charges more than 2000$ transaction happened from our card. I'm trying to get refund ways giving false reply. From 1 month I am trying.
