I got an email this morning addressed from customer service at NetSol. Instead of the usual canned reply to my query, the email contains a series of messages to NetSol complaining about the handining of charge card transactions.
The notes complain about the inability to use charge cards., getting a "charge card denied" message only to find NS has charged their card anyway (sometimes more than once), and other problems. My note to NetSol was tacked on the end.
Could a disgruntled employee at NS be pulling some mischief?
:eek3:

Maybe... but the email looks too deliberate. Like someone cut and pasted a bunch of emails together. Very strange.

Yes... at first I thought it was sent to me by mistake. Then as I read on, I noticed it was several emails from different people around the world writing TO NetSol... then I saw my note to NetSol at the end and I began to suspect "foul play." :D
Interesting side note: One of the messages has the customer's VISA number and exp. date all spelled out. (Written by the customer, not NS).

In my opinion, I think it is a good idea to contact their senior management about the note. If you can find a way of sending it to them, something other than webmaster@networksolutions.com. The reason is because even if that was deliberate, it is a security violation. They gave out customer information and I sure as %&*# would not be happy if that were my information. They need to be made aware of the problem.

I agree... now how to go about it. They are so abysmal with day-to-day transactions... I would hate to forward it to them and have them think *I* originated it.

I would think they would have to prove you sent it and cannot just blame you, however, I do agree that contacting them is a struggle in itself. I haven't checked out their web site recently but maybe there is a way to contact either the webmaster or a chat??? If so, I would briefly mention the issue and ask how to speak with someone who makes decisions around there.

The only method I know of (other than the ever popular phone and fax) is to use the very email form that all these other emails were gleaned from.
This should be interesting. :D

I have actually had pretty good success talking with NSI on the phone. They answer their toll free line 7x24 (as far as I know).
When you get someone on the line I would suggest that you say that you recieved an inappropriate e-mail from them and you would like to speak to a manager or supervisor.
That is usually enough to get their attention and get the right person on the phone.
Just my 2 cents,

What's their phone number? I have never been able to find one that takes you to customer service let alone anyone at their company.

Here is the page with their phone numbers http://www.netsol.com/en_US/help/phone-us.jhtml. There is also a link to a chat, but I have never used that.
