Has anyone here experienced problems getting domains that were registered with Mitsu Inc. unlocked for transfer?

 

One relative of mine experienced problem while transfer.
Mitsu Inc is not a honest. I moved all my domains from them as they had done a small scam.
Mitsu Inc stole a Bank Draft, they said bank draft have wrong info.
I paid full amount with extra charges again & asked them to return the bank draft.
But they always promised to return & but never returned.
So from this experience of mine with Mitsu.in, I can say Mitsu.in is fraud.
Your domain is not safe with them.

 

I cannot change the DNS settings for the Mitsu domains , is anyone else facing the same problem
