Hello all,
I imagine this is a dnforum first, and because it is somewhat of a sensitive topic I have posted it in the exclusive forum such that I can get help from the best.
So.. back in 2007 I was in contact with a lovely older gentleman about purchasing some of his domains. At the time he was going through some awful personal/health based problems which I will not disclose here.
As the deal were getting closer to being done and dusted contact suddenly ceased - he had seemingly disappeared off the edge of the earth. I have attempted to contact him numerous times over the 5 years that have followed since. Sadly with no luck.
Fortunately for this gentlemen he had renewed his domains for 10 years when registering them, but he has since left them untouched. They expire in 2013.
The contact email was associated with a domain that had expired, and noticing this I registered it. His domains are soon to expire, and i have as such accessed his registrar account.
It is my intention to renew his domains and return them to him should he ever appear. They are not the most valuable of domains, but are most likely worth a couple of thousand dollars or so.
Retrospectively I feel as though I should not have accessed his account, and if he has died perhaps or simply moved, forgotten etc then maybe I should have left his domains to simply expire.
I have however accessed his account, and well, hindsight is a *****..
So.. perhaps the members of dnforum could advise me what to do, and perhaps the detectives of dnforum could help me get in contact with this gentlemen again to give him back his domains.
Cheers all.
