Who are you, seminarist? You said you are a former member. Since your domain was registered this week, I think you need to tell us who you are.

Another scamming technique involves appearing ultra-social and "shooting the shit" with already established members.

Sorry, John.

Will do. You can edit my early post though.

Hi, Acro, I'm planning to stay in DNF for a very long time. Let's put it this way, if you found anything "fishy" about me, you can warn the mods and everyone else. How's that?

You can monitor me through my blog if you wish. Who am I? I was just a failure domainer who's trying to return to domaining world. Even though I've lost thousands of dollars in my domain investment due to my rash decisions on buying domains, I'm not going to quit.

Then when whois changes to another registrant (presumably making it more difficult to return the domain to original registrant) the fake phone numbers followed the same format.

**TheLegendaryJP** · 08-15-2008, 02:01 PM

I was able to connect the same email used for paypal, email used in whois for one name and email associated with her name to a phone number. The correct phone to that email used is available on page one. I am sure the thread starter is investigating. She may be a victim here as well if it was an email/paypal hack.

Hey kim Halfmann! If you were half a man you would come clean but then again you are only half a man anyways...

Sorry, I just resist myself on this one....

Woman from Texas ( confirmed same person )

http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:...lnk&cd=1&gl=ca

Look at 4th address and email down for real info...

http://www.asadistrict11.com/2008_WYLIE_CONTACTS.doc

Halfmann Kim 6677 Maple(02) 695-2026 669-7470 kimber6252@aol.com

Here is what 411 says. Notice addy is same 6677 Maple and therefore the same owner of the email kimber6252@aol, phone number is different though.

Halfmann, Kimberly D
Household: Gary
6677 Maple St

Abilene, TX 79602-3325

(325) 695-2026

Not sure why a near middle aged women would do such a things or if someone is just using her info/email. Its possible she is being used as I found the same " handle as the email used to say things suck on youtube and reflective more of a 12 yr old.

Also 411 addy shows same city ( Abilene TX ), your Kim Halfmann 110%. Maybe give her a call and see if she is the theif or being used.

**princehull** · 08-15-2008, 02:28 PM

just tried calling the (325) 695-2026 number. Got a voice mail that was a woman with the name "Kim". I will try her again later.

**robertsz** · 08-15-2008, 02:42 PM

I would imagine that this lady is a victim. I had a very close situation. I did not push the name yet and noticed the money was froze on paypal. This was an ebay sale of a domain. The user's ID and paypal was hacked. The theif wanted me to use a free mail address for the push to godaddy and not the email they paid with. luckily the auction ended at 10PM they paid immediately but by the next morning the credit card payment was already flagged. I would imagine contacting this Kim lady will be nice. She may not be aware of all the spending.

**princehull** · 08-15-2008, 02:45 PM

ok, I just spoke with the real Kim. She said this is definitely fraud and she has already contacted both paypal and her bank. She had no idea what was going on and seemed very nice. She said that there were basically 4 transactions mine for $250, another for $360, one for $800 and one other.
for those of you who this has happened to she said paypal may be emailing you as well to find out what is going on.
My next step is to contact the authorities and report this theft.
Is there any way we could get some appraisals on these domains that were stolen so that I can give an estimate to the authorities?
My domain was Iran-Iraq.com
Thanks everyone!

Sorry, I was referring to the InBrownStockings scammer. Their initial whois shows a "Teresa Clodfelter" of Lexington, NC with differing fake phone numbers for each registrar.

That'd give you a hint about the true whereabouts of the scammer.

**princehull** · 08-15-2008, 03:36 PM

ok, i just spoke with icann about this. They said they can't do anything with stolen domains and recommended defintley calling the local authorities and reporting it.

ok, I just spoke with an FBI agent. He asked that everyone that this has happend to go to fbi.gov. On the left side there is a link to "report internet crime".
He also said it would not hurt to contact and file a report with the local police as well. If enough people report this problem with this person then they will link everyone together and investigate.

also, those of you who this has happened to, if you would like to give me a call to discuss anything my number is 315-572-1892

**HuntingMoon** · 08-15-2008, 04:01 PM

**princehull** · 08-15-2008, 04:03 PM

It's currently parked at Parked.com - Report it to their support dpt so that they pull it; the owner should subpoena the account info from Parked as well to find out where they divert payments to.

**princehull** · 08-15-2008, 04:34 PM

I just sent an email to parked to let them know what has happened

The scammer isn't bothering to update the nameservers - at least not so far.

Even if e-check did clear, it can still be reversed... The only paperless transaction I know of that cant be reversed is bank wire.

**Dorkside** · 08-15-2008, 05:17 PM

Is there any help that the moderators can provide? Such as registration info for inbrownstockings?

inbrownstockings had to have payed for their membership at DNForum and I don't think they paid using the seemingly stolen Paypal account they used to pay for the domains purchased here.

yes, that happened to one member here. the check cleared and then the rightful owner of the paypal account disputed the transaction
