[QUOTE="Electric-Shadow, post: 2227655, member: 81548"] It's only ever happened to me via GoDaddy, I'm pretty confident they sell on search information when you check availability because just before the new year I checked up on an old domain I let drop but wanted back and it was available, not long later it was taken by an investor and registered for two years. So I always swear by DomainTools and I've never had any issues with them. I think the problem would come when you do availability checks and whois lookups via registrars but other than GD I've never had any other issues, nor heard of such things anywhere else but no doubt it probably happens.
