Looks like there may be a problem here

http://www.dnforum.com/t45585

Please let me know if anyone has had any problems with a domain bought from this party. I am involved in a lawsuit (with the prior owners of the domain) involving a domain which was sold to me by this party. It is alleged that the domain was stolen just prior to my purchase. The domain was not an "expiry"so this could be possible since the previous owners claim it was transferred away fromthem without their knowledge. The Name of the seller is the same
"M. Ines" or "Marina Ines"
If anyone has had a problem with a domain that has been purchased from this party, or can assist me with further info (perhaps an e-mail you were sent by this party), I would be most grateful.
In the mean time, Please be very careful if/when dealing with this party. It is possible that they are involved in fraudulent activities

In that case that is good for adam because he gets to keep the name then.

**DotComGod** · 12-11-2003, 02:39 PM

There is a long story about Indiana.com that I will now post.

Bought the domain for 50K at Afternic through Roger.
Paid in full to M. Ines.
Domain transferred to me.
I take ownership and build site.
From that point on its all flaky....

I get email from supposed previous owner.
I contact Roger, Roger basically does nothing.
Netsol takes the domain away from me and gives it back to owner without any enquiry.

At this point I am out 50K and the domain so I contact Netsol and they take it to their lawyers.

End result, they tell me too bad.

To this day:

The domain still point to my site.
I still get all the emails.
I don't own the domain.

Neither Roger nor M. Ines have made any contact to refund me anything.

At least Roger could have given me the fee back he got for the sale.

Now I am off to lawyers to settle this.

That's all I know, sad but all true.

**biggedon** · 12-11-2003, 02:51 PM

Maybe this story should be...if not already......reported at DNJournal.com!

**wolfis.com** · 12-11-2003, 03:05 PM

a Warning about this person calling him/herself M.Ines should be posted & he or she should be behind bars !!

thats right get right on this Duke i smell a story!! what duty do these domain selling sites owe to name buyers??

i would be very skeptical to buy any names thru these type of domain sites,,,,,,,,,,,for myself i keep track of whois for a few months for a particular name and see if the whois changes before i contact the owner directly ,,,,,,,,,

i can see the headlines B U Y E R B E W A R E

for names in that price catergory domain selling sites need to do a better job of Due Diligence before offerring names to the public,,,,,

**clemzonguy** · 12-12-2003, 05:55 PM

I'd like to hunt these type of SOBs down even if they do live in far off places like istanbul and think they can get away with fraud. Justice will be served one way or another. Good luck!

If this is without prejudice, why are you posting it on a public forum?

And, if it is without prejudice, what kind of a settlement offer are you making?

...

**teclance** · 12-16-2003, 05:01 AM

Sorry to hear Adam and to all others scammed. I hope you all get your hard earned money back ASAP! I really wish there was an easy way of nabbing these pricks.
Good Luck...
