I am the (ex-) owner of the domain in question. Over the years, I'm sure we've all waived the process of escrow for people we know and trust - and for people in the industry who have a good reputation.
However, foolishly, in this case I simply trusted a friendly stranger without a Net presence. The fraudster in question has now sold the domain to an innocent third party in Portugal whom I have no doubt purchased the domain in good faith.
Anyhow, this is just to alert people on the forum to be cautious about any dealings with the party below:
