This people trick me over a phone conversation I call requesting a domain renewal, they told me that they were going to charge me $57.40 for renewing my domain name. I asked them why so expensive they told me that it was because my domain fell into redemption time so I agree then... I gave them my credit, and next they guess what happened they charge me $1700.00 to my credit card, and later then they refuse to talk to me over the phone they kept hanging on me, this company is fully fraudulent!, this happened 3 month ago I'm still fighting to get my money back!

I was also scammed by these crooks. I signed up for a $200 package and was charged $1798.20. When I filed a dispute with my CC company GISOL submitted a forged document by taking the onlign signed user agreement signature (which you sign when making your purchase) and copying and pasting it to a document they provide to your credit card company claiming that you signed an agreement for some rediculas amount of money. GISOL also sends you a letter by registered mail which you have to sign for which states that you signed up for a different package. Then, they use copies of the proof of delivery of that letter as proof to your CC company that you recieved the forged document, signed it and returned it to them.

The best thing to do if you have been scammed by GISOL is to cancel your credit card and have a new one reissued with a new number. I have read where some people have had charges to thier CC after not having an account with GISOL for over four years. Stay away from GISOL and if you have been scammed by them, good luck on getting your money back!

I originally set up my site and registered my domain through GISOL. It wasn't long before I moved my site to a different company for hosting (because GISOL was terrible), but I haven't transferred the domain yet because last time I paid for a few years but they have previously let it expire on me. I contacted AllDomains and was told I have to pay $99.95 to activate my site or wait 36 days until it's available again. I contacted the toll free support line at GISOL - miracle I got someone - but of course they tell me I have to call the other line - not a toll free line - and I am immediately put on hold without being talked to. Hung up after 10 minutes and will send an email. If that doesn't work I guess I will wait the 36 days. I am very happy this is my hobby website and not one of my important ones. I'm not sure how they stay in business - I found this site searching for reviews of them and was shocked to read all the negative things. I sure wish there was this much information out there years ago when I first signed up with them.

Gisol is trying to scam me out of $1798.20. Their false advertising/bait-and-switch seemed back enough and then they had the gall to send forged documents to my credit card! I have sent all the evidence I could accumulate to all the agencies I could. Definitely go to report-gisol.com and register if you are a victim as well. Hopefully we can all find each other.

Visit my site http://www.youbyte.com for full details on the dealings we have had with this company! I have never in my life heard lies like this from a company I have dealt with. And lies to the BBB and the Dept. of Justice in California!

Has caused my company enormous grief. GISOL / OneStopNet have acted fraudulently. We are now supplying information to the Better Business Bureau and State Attorney's Office regarding the matter.

They coerced me into upgrading and said it was mandatory. I thought for one year, but they billed me for three years. I sent a letter cancelling my account and also a letter to VISA to initiate a chargeback. It was denied because I did not use the button on their site -- which I had not seen. I have filed a complaint with the County of Los Angeles, Dept. of Consumer Affairs and also with the Better Business Bureau. I am out $898.20 and will advise peole to not use this company. I tell people about my experience with this company. They can reach their own conclustins. They say I knew it was for three years, but I did not. They say I did not attempt to reach them to cancel -- then what is a certified return receipt requested letter to that fact?

They "registered my domain for me" using AllInDomains. Despite having my credit card info and permission, they wouldn't renew the domain--waiting of course for me to pay them a big redemption fee OR bigger money yet to purchase my domain from them or lose a year of work on my site.

I let the registration expire. The domain is currently not registered or available, yet it links to all kinds of scams.

Criminal.

I wrote a review back in January and have tried to put the bad experience with Gisol out of my mind since then. I came across this site again and read some of the other reviews. We have a very good case against Gisol because so many of the stories sound like the same con was pulled. We just need a high profile consumer rights attorney to pursue it. I think this could be an important and newsworthy class action lawsuit.

I am a victim of an internet crime perpetrated by Global Internet Solutions (GISOL).

GISOL had been hosting my website for a couple of years. Since availability of the site seemed OK, I never asked for support so I was not aware of any problems until March 25, 2008 when my site suddenly became unavailable.

I contacted GISOL tech support the same day via their website’s support ticket feature and was told that “Your domain is expired its in a redemption period you need to wait till the redemption period gets over …and also you need to e-mail this issue to admin@gisol.com”.

I checked my records and found that GISOL had billed my PayPal account for a pre-authorized annual subscription renewal $71.40 on February 8, 2008. However, GISOL neglected to advise me that they had allowed my site's domain name to expire on the same day.

I also found that my domain was registered to GISOL, not in my name as I was led to believe when I signed up for their service. As a result, GISOL has a lock on my domain name so I cannot simply move my site to another host and GISOL is completely unresponsive to my requests for assistance.

I have sent numerous emails to GISOL admin with no response. I have called all the phone numbers on their website plus others that I found on the web but the numbers are either disconnected, never answered or connect me to an outsourced technical support representative that claims to know nothing. I have generated additional tech support tickets only to receive the same advice to wait for GISOL admin to get back to me.

The BBB gives GISOL an F rating per the following review: “Complaints allege unauthorized credit card charges, dissatisfaction with services, and difficulty implementing cancellation and refund policies. Most complainants are unsatisfied with the company’s response and most complaints go unanswered.”

Most of the complaints against GISOL go far beyond dissatisfaction with their services. In my case GISOL committed fraud by accepting payment to host my website even though they had allowed my domain to expire thereby making their offer an empty promise.

I guess I am lucky as many other GISOL customers (and there are literally hundreds of similar reports on the web) have been defrauded of thousands of dollars via a calculated scheme to extort money from customers with "valuable" domain names to insure that GISOL keeps them current.

Others. (like myself) without a valuable domain name (and protected by PayPal) are simply ripped off and then dispatched with the expectation that we will go away to make room for more lucrative “customers”.

It is depressing to have learned that Global Internet Solutions has been committing such fraud on unwary consumers for several years. While my immediate monetary losses are relatively small, I have spent hours attempting to contact GISOL.

Later, when I finally realized that my attempts were futile and that my domain name was not going to be restored, I was forced to register my site under a different name and move it to a new host which cost me additional time and money.

However, my out of pocket losses pale in comparison to the goodwill losses suffered because my customers can no longer reach me under my old domain name, links on other sites referring to my site are now broken and my former search position has been forfeited.

If you need additional evidence I strongly advise you to simply search the internet for "GISOL". You will be surprised at the number of complaints that this search term reveals and the extent of GISOL's fraudulent conduct.
