????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/621078-halvarez-at-snapnames-auctions-uncovered.html We don't even know the discount he gave himself. It could have been even higher than 50%. I any case this is an example of corporate greed and what happens when things are not regulated. Also fair competition in the marketplace imho does not exist for domain drops. The very few auction houses could seriously be in bed with the registry. I am deeply troubled by the mention of NetSol in this. If Verisign is part of this via kickbacks then someone has to be acocuntable in their organization as well. I applaud the feds for investigating a Rico case. This is a serious matter.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Can anyone who has received an offer post the email address from which it came? Also, is there anyone else who is expecting an offer who has not received it yet, or are they doing these in "batches?" And finally, those of you expecting a certain amount, how were you able to expect a certain amount without being able to confirm your 2004 to Nov 2007 bid history? Did you preemptively save it all locally, or did you not bid prior to Nov 2007? Best, -Allan

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=621078 I think snapnames are being pretty reasonable in resolving this. BUT i want the history in my Snapnames account reinstated asap to verify RUSTs figures.

I only got screwed $14 plus interest on 10 domains so I'm not that bothered about the money - it was pretty much what I expected, I made far more on the other pile of names where it was just me and him and he did'nt bid ![]() They only sent me a list of the ones where he bid in or I had to bid over his $60 order to win, they go from Oct 2005 to December 2008 I still think the correct thing to do is put everybody's history back so they can check it themselves. .

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I bet the paper shredders and hard drive wipers are going 24x7. Brady acting alone, and *nobody* knowing about this fails the smirk test. I am Shocked, SHOCKED I tell you that there was fraud in the auction business! I wonder who will get caught in the cover up?

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | A quick word of warning: Don't sign anything from RUST/SNAPNAMES/OVERSEE or any other agents until everything has been made crstal clear! Remember the horrors of Bhopal, sleaze ridden lawyers were on the spot within hours getting people to sign away their rights for a few measly dollars, people who would latter be crippled with illness and pain, some of whom would die because of the explosion. Well anyone who signs a waiver agreement now will be losing big time when the truth does eventually come out! ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=621078 Please note I do not personally equate Bhopal and this incident as similar in any way except that suddenly the perpetrator or the one with legal responsibility suddenly got very active offering peanuts without those affected being able to realise their true losses. It may also be of interest to certain members to know that suspected tax fraud can be reported to the IRS by using IRS 'Form 3949-A' a copy of which is available as a PDF file online - this form can be used to report both individuals and companies.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Rust Consulting certainly seem experienced in "Class Action Settlement administration"(as it says on their website). However, I doubt if they've ever had a group like this to deal with before. The domainer ("victim")group would be unusual in that many are linked and discussing everything right now on this and other forums. Some of us are switching back and forth between several forums. If all information continues to be pooled then there's less chance of anything being swept under the rug. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=621078 If those of you who have already received communications from Rust continue to request / demand that the Order History is re-instated then maybe Snapnames will finally do something about it. This aspect of the whole thing is just so insulting. "Trust us, trust us"... |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I received my offer letter today - total rebate less than $50. My personal loss was not substantial but it is evident HAlvarez often appeared in auctions in 2008 and into early 2009. Checking my history I see a case where his bidding cost the winner of SouthFlorida.net (Lightning) over $1000 December 28, 2008 and cost me $5 on an auction in March 29th, 2009 (GamerMarket.com). I also see him present in an auction I won April 4, 2009 (Reparar.net) but he did not bid. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Im amazed that they are so keen to resolve the whole matter as soon as possible, this should be a red flag straight away. Obviously people must weigh up taking money now, or waiting for an investigation. Surely this is a criminal matter, and propper procedure needs to be followed. Just sending out an email saying we will pay you, what we think is fair as soon as possible is not in any way satisfactory IMO. I believe this matter should be sorted out by a judge, at the very minimum. I certainly would not let Oversee be the "judge" of how things go down.

![]() | Brady is only 1 part of the picture. I will tell you the real secret no one has mentioned : Brady also enlisted drop catchers like Answerable to shill bid. That is why Snapnames only found 1 account tied to Brady. There are actually many more tied to drop catchers that Nelson Brady organized. Snapnames enlisted and worked with the big drop catchers to ramp up the price. Each drop catcher (registrar) had multiple accounts. For those investigating for a class action, that's my two cents. Follow the $$. The drop catchers (registrars) had the most to gain. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Yes. Sadly, that's their plan and it looks like it's working 100% as drawn up in the boardroom. Every time someone accepts a payoff, it takes a little more ammunition away from the remaining victims of this fraud. IMO.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I don't have any axes to grind here. I seldom use these services unless it is something I really like. With me it is, more than anything a realization that the whole drop/aftermarket auction system is IMO totally flawed. But I decided it might be good to post something here that I posted to our Skype chat.

![]() | Let's clarify things a bit. Nelson Brady = Snapnames This effort to separate and put the blame on one man is bullshit. They are one and the same. That is why I hold Snapnames responsible. Snapnames profited from the shill bidding and fraud. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=621078 Why is Oversee putting up smokescreen? I will tell you why. Oversee bought Snapnames in 2007. That is why they only admit to fraud before 2007. They want to point the blame on the original team. But that is not possible because Snapnames kept these guys on until a few weeks ago and let them run the business. Snapnames continued to shill bid after 2007. We even have screenshots of that on DNForum. So Snapnames has criminal liability for the fraud. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=621078 If, on the other hand, you're pretty sure you're owed more than what you're being offered, wait until all the bidding history has been made available and see what else comes out. And then there are those who lost out on domains that they might have won if they hadn't been won by halvarez. What's owed to these bidders will be much harder to calculate, and if there's a lawsuit, I'd say these are the folks who stand to gain the most from waiting for that.
