...when a very large trusted registrar f's with you?

Today I tried to log-in to NameCheap and I recieved an error stating that I cannot log-in because my account was disabled until 2099.

I've sent them several e-mails, like they asked. I've sent them my phone number, I've tried calling them from their WHOIS number. No responses ... At all. I hate to say this but over the past couple days I'd probably be ready to choose GoDaddy over NameCheap.

From now on I'll try to register my domains at Moniker or NWS.

Anyway, what do I do now? Just wait? Is there any instant thing I can do, or phone number I can call?

I always get a prompt response in good manner. It's strange that it's happened..but it's not like there's nobody else to turn to.

I've seen this a few times recently, most of the time it ends up just being some kind of glitch in the system.

I'd like to see namecheap solve this problem quickly too. :\

They probably suspect you to have stolen a credit card...

First off, they aren't a registrar, they are a reseller for eNom

Anyways, they are doing what is necessary because most likely your CC was used somehow with fraud or a chargeback.

I read about a story like this at namepros, something fraud was involved in the other case.

Same. Sounds like your credit card has being involved in something.
