When there was that big LLLL/paypal scam, I know an NP member who did some investigations about those hackers and said it is an international crime group, where at least two forum members are involved (including 9MM). He had no proof, and (un)fortunately without proof, there is little one can do here.

I just sent the link to this thread to him. Maybe he can post more info.

And 9MM, the only thing that can be done here is JAIL. You have no respect for the community, and if you would not get punished really well, you would come back with a different account as you said before in the conversation with Alexa.

From being so poor, you had too many money in your hands by scamming other people.

At least I believe you are 16 .. you behave like that. But the problem is really bigger here, there is a network of scammers. 9MM is possibly just one of them, and he needs punishment.

so just so i understand this he scams people how??? I would read the entire thread but am on a dial up connection. Plus he offered to buy one of my names and i would really like to know how to stay away from this thing entirely... In addition one of my names is for sale and since that time i have recieved offers from different people via email each one day apart makes me think that i could have a sammer on my tale plus both emails came from free email services gmail and hotmail. No real way to trace who it is.

thanks,
christian

Full explanation will go to the mods though, am I gonna die?
You are aware that people have just lost over $100.000 in this, right? The role you played makes you an accomplice in a fraud.

The "playing along with him originally and planned on getting access to the domain registrar account if possible to transfer all the names back to original owner" explanation won't do. Getting banned is the least of your worries now...

With or without the egold payment, he still is an accomplice in fraud. His commission for taking part in this fraud was f u c k e d . c o m, which on it's own is worth more than $5.000 mentioned. And even if there was no commission (not even in a form of a domain), he would still be guilty for taking part in this fraud.

This is a serious issue and it seems to me these kids have no idea what they got them self into. Wow... just wow.

Heads are going to roll... and rightfully so.

wow, great advice...because it's OK to commit crimes right? Actually because minors (in the US at least) cannot legally enter into a binding legal contract they should'nt even be here buying and selling domains..

Age is not a factor in this scam! Anyone involved in this scam is responsible for there choices! 9 year old boys would know the difference between good and bad choices!

How about a summary of this thread?

This is a very long thead and a complicated topic.
Can someone post a summary, factual, and recommendations
for how we can buy and sell domains more securely?

thanks,
Kevin

the ugly thing is that the other scammers/hackers whatever who live outside the US/canada like this (fake?)iranian guy will never get cought..

If I'd go to the police here and say my $1million domain collection is stolen they'd never do anything about it, simply because 'internet crime' isnt very high on the police agenda..

You should change your email asap.
I assume they used a gmail flaw.

In brief :

Free Email accounts get hacked easily via known exploits / or people let free email lapse and scammer renews it .
Keylogger is also an old method ( internet cafe's are notorious )
Email is the "key" to domain ownership ... so scammer has effectivly control your Registrar account and in turn your domains.

In short
NEVER use free email..... if you can afford domains , then you can afford decent email hosting .
use a different ( private )email addy @ your registrars account that the one visible in your whois .
Use Roboform / roboform-to-go to ensure that you have secure passwords , also aids in avoiding keyloggers etc ..
Dont visit warez sites !
Use good antivirus/anti-trojan.

And when buying domains ... do due dilligence ! If it's too good to be true .... then it usually is .
Dont trust whois 100% ... if email has been exploited already , then the scammer can reply as if he is the real owner. Put a bit of effort in , and use domaintools

Great post Gerry. gonna send you some irish four leaf clover over

btw, for the email in whois, is it definitely safer using a email account you set up through your own hosting?
so a webmail account? is that harder for them to hack?
cheers

Tnx Pred .. i don't use my own server for email .. i would not think that wise ... I paid for "Secure Email Hosting" ... just Google it

Not free , but secure , as exploits are less likely to be known if there is one , rather than on the more common free services.
