I called VeriSign the registrar and got a supervisor, Forsyth. I spoke
to him briefly about this filthy practice.
He said that VeriSign GRS deals *only* with registrars; customer support
at NetSOL (great abbreviation) can't even get in contact with them. It
doesn't seem like they have much communications or unification between
the GRS (which handles the TLDs), the registrar (which does actual
registrations), and their security arm.
He relayed me to the corporate office, and gave me this contact information:
487 East Middlefield Road
Mountain View, CA 94043
1 (650)-961-7500
Good luck! :)
