ICAP Media Domain hijacking.

[ARMG]

Hi folks,

I want to notify you all about ICAP Media which is lead by Jeffrey Tognetti which is Hijacking a domain of mine.

Let me explain:

I had bought a domain on sedo two month ago. It took about one month for the seller to finally hand over the domain to sedo, but when Sedo finally obtained the domain they accidentally pushed the domain into the wrong Manage.Snapnames.com account.

Now one month later Jeffrey Tognetti still hasn't pushed the domain back to Sedo.

I receive outrageous and unprofessional emails from Jeffrey Tognetti practically making fun of me. He even dares to call me the scammer...

The "company" he is related to is ICAP Media and he owns more than 4000 domains, So I was wondering does anyone know this guy or has anyone done any business with this guy?

I am the most disappointed in manage.snapnames.com. Why won't they cooperate with a company like Sedo. Sedo has already contacted them and told them about this issue but snapnames still hasn't undone this push.

I created this post in order to get some advice in how to obtain the domain after all and to inform you guys about the way ICAP Media does business.

After-all stealing a domain name isn't different than stealing something in the "real wold" like a car for instance . Although unfortunately Jeffrey Tognetti thinks different about this.

Cheers,
ARMG

You may want to post this in the legal section, this sounds like a legal issue to me.

I'm sure you have...but if not I would speak with someone at snapnames with the correspondence showing you purchased the name...You also must be in regular communication with your sedo rep....between sedo & snap, they will work it out.

I had something similar happen to me with a snapnames name I won at auction...it took about 3 months for snapnames to deal with their mistake, but they did....this however is sedo's mistake.

Thanks for your advice. I am in contact with sedo and I have recently contacted Snapnames as well. But I can't understand why Snapnames simply doesn't push the domain back into sedo's account.

It would make too much sense...

But really, they may need to do their due dilligence first, but should not take a long time.

What is really alarming is that another domainer is being such a prick.

You got a point there. I will keep you guys updated about the issue. And I am going to give Jeffrey Tognetti a call anytime soon. I found out he also owns a auto company called ICAP Auto. Maybe it's a good idea to call him while he is at work

Ok guys now here's a plot I didn't expected this issue would take. It seems that ICAP Media really had bought the domain on Snapnames.com. The seller is the one which is to blaim.

The seller is a member here and his account is: CommercialDomains
What he has done is first he sold the domain on sedo.com he didn't liked the price the domain sold for so he never completed the transaction I was in with sedo.

After one month of pushing ComercialDomains to hand over the domain to Sedo so that sedo could complete the transaction he finally did that but in mean time he also sold the domain on snapnames! And the domain was registered at snapnames so snapnames took the domain out of sedo's escrow account and gave the domain to ICAP Media.

Conclusion CommercialDomains is a pathedic domainer which doesn't honours binding sales.

I see he is still active on DNForum so everybody we warned.
