Another possible stolen name...

[TheLegendaryJP]

Now let me say this, until the former whois contact is asked it isnt confirmed but before someone spends 5 fgures I would rather warn now, I apologize if it is not but a few things made me go hhhmmm.

MARRIED.com

I receive an email from [email protected] offering married.com for sale, no name or contact just this is the name, make an offer Thanks.

I reply asking do you have more.

They reply first make an offer asking price is $20k and then I will tell you more, again no name or contact info besides email which has now changed to [email protected] .

I reply making an offer and ask what other names they have, they have not replied.

I also see it is now at afternic at $10k .

Now there are some red flags here, out of the blue email, no name, changing gmail accounts 3 times etc. Also when whois is checked it reveals the name changed info within the last 2 days from the original owner to the new owner BUT with yet ANOTHER gmail account [email protected] .

So now we have a recent transfer, no names, 3 different emails and my gut saying hhhmmm. Also he moved the name from Melbourne IT to Godaddy . Contacting the yahoo address of the former owner is pointless, the theif very well may have it to start with so calling is best.

and add to that a 150k name going for 10k....hmm

I would tell you the email he contacted me at but I have only ever used it for a couple high profile names, not a name one could easily associate to me ersonally. It is obvious he didnt know by that email who I was. :doh:


Confirmed Iranian theif emails. I have left a VM for the real owners so we'll see what they do now.

This could be a tactic to masquerade the hijacking.
Perhaps the thief is reading this or is a member...
Let's see what the original owners have to say.

Man, this really seems be getting out of control. Time to go count my domains.

Sugar.net and Cheque.net remain at large.

Great job!

One has to write a cheque and pour some sugar on it when they're married
