Domain Held Hostage, Shut Down Unless $155 Is Paid

I bought my domain name from Yahoo, who sold it to Melbourne IT. Melbourne IT has been holding it hostage.

I reregistered it with GoDaddy. Melbourne IT said, "Too bad," pay 155 dollars or have it shut down. Now Melbourne IT wants 155 dollars to have it reinstated, or it can be shut down for 1 year.

Thieving dogs. It is not theirs to hold. Yahoo should not do business with them if they treat clients like this. I have now heard of other people having the same problem with Yahoo and Melbourne IT.

They do not own the domain. My site is shut down now, and to get it up is $155. Do they tell you in the beginning? NO! They wait until it has to be reinstated to rip you off.
