Well not being funny because halverez pissed me of,but godaddy let any of their staff bid on domains even the Vice president Adam does and no doubt namejet do as well,the only difference is that snap supposedly do not allow it apart from that there is no difference ,at least you could see who is bidding on snapnames unlike godaddy where we are all being raped of cash and do not know what the bidder id is.

Snapnames canned response to my inquiry about obtaining the auction data older than 2 years, is below. I suggest that everyone seeks legal advice to obtaining a copy of their data from Snapnames, for the full span of their account. Snapnames keeps the data offline; they don't erase it. We are entitled to a copy of it.
Thank you for contacting us.
12 to 24 months of your bid/auction participation history is available in your
SnapNames account.
1. Log in to your SnapNames account
2. Go to My Account
3. Go to Order History
4. Double click the High Bidder on the same line of domain name. This will show the
entire bid history for this specific auction.
To view a large number of records, you can export the results to Excel for easier
viewing.
*If you were affected by the inappropriate bidding, you will receive an email
communication with detailed records, auction by auction, from Rust Consulting, the
third party hired by the company to administer the rebates. The communication will
be sent out later this week to all affected customers to their email address on
file with SnapNames. If you do not receive a communication from Rust Consulting,
none of your domain purchases or bidding was impacted by these events. If you do
not receive the communication from Rust Consulting but believe you were affected
please contact them at 888-413-5338 after November 5th.

There are 3 big problems with Snap's proposed rebate:
1) It assumes that Nelson used only 1 fake account. If he used more than one account (why wouldn't he?) then the proposed refund formula STILL cheats customers. Every bidder at every auction now needs to be validated back to the start od Snapnames.
2) Some of Halvarez's domains where he WON the auction were sold to others, many to iReit. Those funds need to be handed back to the 'real' winner of those auctions.
3) Any parking income needs to be handed back to the 'real' winner of those auctions.
So... Snapnames... your refund offer is just not going to cut it. Make it right or we have no choice but sue.

No, it's not my site, and yes, I do understand how Swoopo works. I'm not here to fight about Swoopo or hijack this thread though, so this is the last I'm going to say on this.

Naturally this is all suspicious.
First of all, Snap reports that this transpired from 2005 to 2007. Yet, they remove all account information from that period.
Plus, my own account shows Halverez Still bidding in December 2008!

And, with all due respect to Oversee.... Please... do not acquire any other domain-related business. Maybe it is karma or something, nobody knows, but - lets face it -
the results of prior acquisitions were not good neither for oversee nor for the customers.
Oversee acquired Moniker - and TrafficClub was destroyed (perfect idea now dead), skenzo feed lost and you had to pay trafficclub customers a lot of $$$ without receiving the payment from skenzo (an old story, but still not forgotten). Furthermore, according to various forum posts, moniker customers are now less satisfied with the level of service.
Oversee acquired Snap - and Netsol drops were lost, not good for customers since the prices at namejet are generally higher due to reasons unknown. And today the are a lot more problems.
My vote would be for oversee to concentrate on DomainSponsor improvements and not on any other acquisitions!

The letter I got said that he was doing it from 2005 and on with most of it going on between 2005 and 2007.

And I suppose we're supposed to "trust them" on that... right?

To think this went on for years and nobody else in the company knew means they either have crappy systems to monitor high bidding activity or they knew.

I am really intrigued about how adamantly Kjel has defended Halvarez as a "high-volume customer" in every occasion his name was brought up. For AT LEAST 3 years, these reassuring statements put any independent investigation to deep sleep.

Is Oversee trying to buy out consciences and our silence with blanket-issuing of blood money rebates? Do they really believe that we are stupid? What used to be a game of "halvarez is Snapnames - no, halvarez is not Snapnames" has escalated into a multi-million dollar fraud that is spinning out of control. Through its numerous affiliates, Oversee is currently taking the pulse of their carefully written email in order to gauge how far up the shit has hit the fan. The truth is, that the shit is now at nose level of every Oversee executive that will experience a global boycott of every Oversee-owned company; especially if they do not provide open access to the findings. Oversee bought a scamming corporation; they have inherited - if not, encouraged - the proliferation of Nelson Brady as #1 money-maker under Snapnames. How does Oversee expect us to entrust them any longer with drop-catching via Snapnames, domain parking via DomainSponsor and registrations of domains via Moniker? The shit is at nose level and it's about to hit the fan once the rebate emails are out with a document to sign. This one will be child's play for any ethical lawyer willing to take down a mountain of manure.
