Country: | Preordered domain hijacked by registrar! I preordered a .mobi domain and it was registered by the registrar I preordered through, although they used a different name. I had to pay thousands instead of the $79.98 I signed up for. Does this happen all the time? If so, we ought to bring a classs action suit! |

Country: | Re: Preordered domain hijacked by registrar! JP - I think he said he paid $7k for the name which is why the Whois is shows his info. I believe he is saying he pre-ordered it and the other company grabbed it and put it up for sale for $7k. Davids felt he needed to buy it for $7k or lose out. Am I correct?

Oh I see now. Well in that case, the real legal complaint needed to happen immediately after they registered it, not after he pays them $7K for it. Especially $7K for that domain, he had time, alot of time to battle it out. ![]() | |

Country: | Re: Preordered domain hijacked by registrar! Did you win it through any auction system after your registrar captured the domain? Very often if more than one party is interested in the name, it could bid up very high. The person who benefits from it is of course the registrar...

If you don't think I can do anything about it, oh well. But be aware of what these guys are capable of and watch your back. I'll probably end up settling for small claims. Quote:
If this happens all the time, I don't know why there aren'y major class action suits around it... Last edited by davids; 12-25-2006 at 11:12 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost | ||

Country: | Re: Preordered domain hijacked by registrar! So it was through an auction or purchased directly from them ? If it wasnt an auction and you bought directly from them you did the wrong thing imo. That is when I would have called a domain lawyer, not bought it. As for legal action now. Thats up to you but to even get a small claims case against them to stick, I dunno bro. Best of luck. |

Country: | Re: Preordered domain hijacked by registrar! I hardly can imagine scene.mobi going for 7k if you were buying it from someone else......maybe with 1k you would have got it.....I`m looking at the past .mobi sales and scene.mobi does not worth more than cafe.mobi, does it ?

Country: | Re: Preordered domain hijacked by registrar! That's a good point. It appears that Dotster (dba RevenueDirect) used alldomains as the registrar, knowing that they had a faster process than Dotster. I don't believe there is yet a process for .mobi registrar transfers. |

Country: | Re: Preordered domain hijacked by registrar! From what it sounds he preordered a domain. Someone else preordered the same domain and ended up getting it first. What happened between the time you preordered the name and you paying $7k for it. There is a gap in your posting. If it was someone else that preordered the name and sold it to you, I do not see a problem. Just because you preorder a name doesn't guarantee the name.

DNF$: 0 Location: Manila | Re: Preordered domain hijacked by registrar! Hmm, the OP hasn't provided more details (e.g. sequence of events). There's a similar complaint in another forum with more, but I'd rather let the OP post it here if they're one and the same.
