I guess I'm missing something.

I followed the URL above and big as life, *right beside* the amount they are charging, is a big 'ol Verisign logo. 

Down a little ways (also clearly visible) is "renewal & TRANSFER authorization" it also very clearly displays the cost of doing the renewal/transfer via Verisign.

I guess I'm a little out of touch, but I see nothing misleading and I sure as heck don't see anything that would lead ~anyone~ (actually reading the form) to believe it was from ~anyone except~ Verisign.

What am I missing? I feel soooooooooo left out ;-).

Fuzzy.
