Reece thanks for putting up the lists.

That's a lot of stolen names.

-REECE- 04-19-2008 06:07 AM

You're welcome :)

O.P. over there is suggesting that his account's password was compromised. He's threatening that he'll be going after the perpetrator legally, as well as anyone who purchases these domains. Nothing's been confirmed yet, but I would really recommend staying away. This has the potential to get ugly and I can totally understand the O.P.'s position if those are all indeed his names...

I agree. Anyone that just lost about $100k+ worth of domains would do anything in their power to get them back. I would do anything to get those back, this is unbelievable.

-REECE- 04-19-2008 05:30 PM

All thanks have to go to Michael Goldman for alerting me to this scam yesterday. If it wasn't for him noticing this, I'd be out $4000.

I didn't want to post anything until I was reasonably sure there was something fishy going on there, which seems to now be the case...

I was interested in one of these domains and I'm aware that at least 2 other NPers were in negotiations over some of these names as well. I'd recommend putting off any purchases of any of the names listed above until management over there gets to the bottom of this. The whois details are updated on these domains as per the dates the original poster suggests they were stolen and the current owner seems to be in a hurry to offload these domains, which seems somewhat questionable at best.

Well, if you visited the link, domains from about 5 owners who had their domains stolen we sold last week at v7n. Almost 30 of them.

I am now in talks with the guy who baught them to try and get mine back.

FPForum 05-18-2008 06:28 PM

So TravelKing is the scammer here? How come noone has posted in that thread warning other potential buyers?

Dougy 05-18-2008 06:32 PM

I donated 25 NP$ to help cover the cost of the sticky.

-REECE- 05-18-2008 06:57 PM

Thanks Dougy, that was very kind of you :)

And thanks to everyone helping keep this thread updated and helping with making sure everyone on Namepros is as safe as we can be while conducting business on the Internet :tu:

Sterling 05-19-2008 07:08 AM

Here is what I have found out.......

The user TravelKing over at v7n was trying to unload alot of the stolen domains. One of the victims caught him and had his thread shut down. He then tried selling them on another forum. The victim some how befriended him and managed to get his names back. But, the rest of them were sold to:

Morris, Joseph resko35@gmail.com
118 Main Street
Nazareth, Pennsylvania 18064
United States
1-484-477-9702

Now, I contacted Joseph Morris last night. He is claiming he knew nothing of the scam, even though if you do a search for any of the names you will find out. Which is what I usually do before I buy a name, any name, I do a Goggle search.

He is not willing to do anything. When I told him he is involved now, like it or not, he says he would just unload them on someone else. So, I asked him how much for me to buy them back? I offered $40 a piece then $50 a piece (which is what he paid), and when he wouldn't take that, I told him he was trying to profit off of someones elses misery, he informed me wasn't that the idea? I said not off STOLEN domains!

So, I am only left with one option, to try the court system.

Unless you guys have any bright ideas?

Idees 05-19-2008 07:10 AM

What a mess....

Len 05-19-2008 07:26 AM

If you google the email address you will find a number of things this guy is involved in. He also uses the name Richard Wilson. I think you should read article #689 by Restecpa here http://www.dnforum.com/f417/unresol...ead-282204.html
You will see that this guy was involved with the infamous 9MM fiasco. Seems like he may be a hacker/scammer himself.

italiandragon 05-19-2008 07:44 AM

I stopped reading this thread a long time ago.

I also stopped using PayPal and so I have never been scammed despite lots of scammers tried to scam me offering me too many good names for cheap or trying to buy with PayPal my names.

JUST STOP USING THAT USELESS COMPANY and use MoneyBookers Escrow!!!

:yell:


The reason why some LLLL.com prices dropped is mainly because of these scammers that re-sell the stolen domains at lower prices to get away quickly with their scams.
