My domain name has been stolen, hijacked or transferred from me, what do I do?
If your domain name has been stolen, hijacked or transferred but remains with Synergy Wholesale when you perform a lookup via WHOIS you should contact us through your Synergy Wholesale partner account by submitting a new support request.
We can investigate this issue for you to provide as much information as we can within the realms of privacy law, however we cannot guarantee reversal of actions – this will be determined at the time of investigation based on facts available to us.
