excerpt:

VeriSign has settled charges brought by the Federal Trade Commission
that the company's Network Solutions unit tricked consumers into
registering Internet domain names with its service.

The settlement, made public Wednesday by the FTC, concludes the FTC's
investigation into VeriSign for alleged deceptive marketing practices.

Under the settlement, Network Solutions is prohibited from falsely
stating that a domain is about to expire, or that a domain name
transfer is a renewal.
