08 Apr 08 Complaint filed with LADA, Bureau of Special Operations, Consumer Protection Division

I lost $71.40 to GISOL when they billed my PayPal account to “renew” my subscription for another year while allowing my domain to expire on the same day. Luckily, they couldn’t take any more of my money because only that amount was authorized for automatic payment through PayPal.

Though my out of pocket loss was small, the greater loss is that my domain name is now toast. I’ve had to register my site under a similar name but with a different extension which means that my present customers can’t find me under the old domain name, other sites referral links to my site are now broken and my sites search position is forfeit.

I am angry for what GISOL did to me, for the harm done to others and for what GISOL will continue to do in the future if it is not stopped. I cannot accept that a company can break the law with such impunity in this country.

So far I have filed complaints against GISOL with the BBB, Attorney General of California, the Internet Crime Complaint Center, High Technology Crime Division of the LA District Attorney and most recently to the LA District Attorney, Bureau of Special Operations, Consumer Protection Division.

I encourage all others that have been ripped off by GISOL to also file complaints. GISOL must be stopped!

08 Apr 08 I got screwed by Gisol too

I just got screwed by them too. $1,800 worth. I’m furious!

I signed up for a site with my AmEx card — they called to say they’re not accepting AmEx anymore and would I like to put it on another credit card. I said yes. Then he said because I’m registering a business, he had to put me on a business account but instead of $5.95/mo it would be even cheaper, $3.47/mo, around $42/year. I said great. He said to check my e-mail in ten minutes. I did to find a charge of $1798.

And I was recommended gisol by a friend who said he’s had a site through them for five years!!! Have they overtaken a previously viable business?
