Yep, that was the case. It happened to be a Gmail account. Here are some security measures to take while buying a domain from any entity.

Even if you are buying a domain listed on a service like SnapNames.com and the whois shows "Senior Account Rep Snapnames.com" means that it's a user submitted domain and still could be a stolen domain. Afternic.com, TDNAM.com, eBay.com, Sedo.com etc all could be places stolen domains can be listed for sale, so do not think just because a domain is listed on one of these sites, that you are "safe".
If you have your account at a registrar, I stronly suggest you use a domain for your email and that email address on your registrar account.
Also, 9MM was in the master mind of this and he was or is a member HERE! I am not fully sure if that is his user name here a not?
