I just got scammed by him a few days ago for an $x,xxx name.

Don · 01-31-2008, 08:35 PM

It'd be nice if the first post of this thread had a list of EVERY name this guy stole - with it's current status, returned/MIA.

UrbanCowboy · 01-31-2008, 08:36 PM

I just got my doimain back. Thanks wibrodomains and everybody else who worked on getting domain back. I never thougtht I would see it again.

GreenGambler · 01-31-2008, 08:52 PM

He is watching this thread right now. and i'm sure he will hand over the domain

Wise move you did Kev/Marian/or whatever your name .. by returning the domains

Bad (online) reputation to your real name is the worst thing could happen.

Just Google "Charlie Wenzel"

There is something that worries me. He surely has other domains that he does not want to return (like Dan's domain).

Maybe somebody contacts Jay from DomainTools for some help. I am sure that he would give us a help. Please can anybody do this, since I go to sleep now. It would be an occasion for him to show that the registrant search can be used for good purposes too, and I think he will help.

Edit: Charlie Wenzel is a really great story though. Anybody who has about 3 free hours should google him and read a very long thread on pirate 4x4

flamewalker · 01-31-2008, 09:17 PM

I have a subscription that allows me to see whois history if anyone isn't sure about where a domain should go. Just pm me if needed.

Chris · 02-01-2008, 12:21 AM

Please post here with the name(s) you lost to this guy and the status (returned, etc.). Also let us know if you have not received your name(s) back as well and which ones.

Thank you wibro and everyone else for your assistance!

I'm sending over some NP$ now. I can't believe I got it back. Thanks, wibrodomains.

wibrodomains · 02-01-2008, 01:45 PM

My suggestion on this matter now:
If you sell a domain on this forum and accept paypal "Make sure that person has very good feedback"

Never take Paypal with Ebay Auctions

If you do take paypal with Ebay Auctions i would wait 48 hours untill transferring that domain"Allows enough time for paypal to email you saying they are looking into a fraud complaint"
When i sold mine with ebay "Paypal emailed me 12 hours later and ebay emailed me 1 hour after the auction saying it was fraud.

Its up to you how you want to sell domains but be careful=I was lucky to get them back.

Plus pull up the contact info for the buyer on ebay and give them a call ask them if they bought a domain

That seems surprising; with 54 positive iTraders and an 8 month history I would generally assume the seller was real.
