| Platinum Lifetime Member | I was brokering the sale of OED.net. After posting on DN Forum, someone contacted the owner of the domain directly and agreed a sale. No problem there, as I'd have received payment regardless of how a sale went through. The owner, however, transferred the name prior to payment, and no payment was ever made. OED.net was stolen. The email address and names (all probably made up) were jahad mustafa email : mydomainworld@gmail.com. We have a domain lawyer, but this is fraud. Can anyone recommend the best course of action. Thanks, Phil Orchard |

| Gold Lifetime Member | trust and escrow I am the (ex-) owner of the domain in question. Over the years, I'm sure we've all waived the process of escrow for people we know and trust - and for people in the industry who have a good reputation. However, foolishly, in this case I simply trusted a friendly stranger without a Net presence. The fraudster in question has now sold the domain to an innocent third party in Portugal whom I have no doubt purchased the domain in good faith. Anyhow, this is just to alert people on the forum to be cautious about any dealings with the party below: ADMIN CONTACT INFO jahad mostafa 901 - B1 - Al Naumiyah Towers - Kuwait Stajm ajman ajman 8834 AE Phone: +971.4425004 Email Address: vb2deal@gmail.com [the contact details are taken from a the domain rafiei.com with which he is associated. I've belatedly done a little detective work] He used the email address jahad mostafa <mydomainworld@gmail.com> when contacting me. Sadder and Wiser Dave |

Country: | I am not so sure how it's expensive... for a name you were planning to sell for $1500 ...it would cost you $50 for escrow ..which you shouldn't be paying anyway. The buyer should pay it. |

Thanks. The new owner Oliver Hoger informs me that he paid $550 to the fraudster. I'm not an expert in these things, but surely there must be a "money trail" back to someone's bank account? Are there any skilled fraudbusters present on the forum??? | |
