Did you mention they do not have a telephone?

well, since they are an accredited ICANN registrar they do have phones listed with ICANN and Verisign as well as contact email addresses and a postal address. They also have a postal address is in Florida and one in Bahamas in Panama. (not sure if any of them are currently valid though, google maps shows the Florida address to be some sort of rented storage area)

Just search for them on ICANN's site and follow the whois data trail on verisign's site (hint: search by registrar).

P.S. #2
i got in touch with their tech support [Ticket#1047262] and they promised to fix this small security issue that appears after registration but before the first ever actual login by a new user.
  The registration process itself is secure but right after the registration if you click their company logo and try to manage your profile you get sent to the unencrypted page that shows the data you filled in during the registration (except the pw)

To avoid this issue the first thing you should do after registration is to click the LOG OUT link (or clear the cookies for their site) and then login back in, you will then get the form with the "always use ssl" checkbox.

P.S.
it does this on new account registrations (sending all profile data unencrypted) but after i logout and when i try to log back in i am presented with a checkbox to enable ssl for all requests.

first time users don't get that checkbox though, all their data is sent via plaintext on registration :(

http://internet.bs/ has great deals on domains and it's located in the Bahamas.

Did I mention they have an API?

yea right.. ever looked at the protocol used by default on the profile administration page?
i just tried it and it defaults to http, no https. All your profile data on internetbs is sent over the wire in plain text, including the security question and all the rest.

Even though their servers seems to support it, once you click on a link on a secured page on their site you're automatically directed to the plaintext http access pages.

an US judge just ruled that having a .com doesn't necessarily mean it's under US jurisdiction:

Facebook argued in its filings that Faceporn targets a United States audience by using a ".com" address, and by virtue of the fact that Faceporn is an interactive website with 250 users in California and 1000 users in the United States. The court says that these allegations alone are not sufficient to satisfy the standard for personal jurisdiction.

actually, it is a scam imho because you do not get 1.50 in cash but you get it as a discount voucher for the next ticket you buy. Ticketmaster doesn't pay you a single cent in CASH and if you stopped using them you're SOL, you're not going to get anything back. Their lawyers are laughing all the way to the bank.

Think of this settlement as just a small mandatory promotion for them since you'll be paying them anyway MUCH more than that for a ticket. The $1.50 discount is insignifiant.
