Registerfly domains robbed

gtcsys · 07-14-2007, 02:42 PM

Hi All:

I am the original registrant and the rightful owner of two domains at Registerfly.com.

For some unknown reason, the domain registration information for these two domains were changed to the following person shortly before the collapse of Registerfly:

Winter, James zumi@mountaincable.net
ABC
c/o 357 Malin Road
Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
United States
+1.8458183604

The domains are now with GoDaddy, but I have no control over them. I called GoDaddy so many times, and pleaded with them but to no avail. They say they don't believe me even though I have sent them my RF screenshots and renewal records. They said anybody can make up bogus screenshots.

I am so upset right now, because apparently someone has just renewed one the domains.

I did a Google search and found that several other people at RF had their domains transferred to the same person as well --

Who is this person? Is he out to rob people's domains? So I am trying to find out how everyone got their domains back.

GoDaddy told me to file a legal challenge with WIPO to try to get the domains back. But that will cost a lot of money! The minimum cost to file a domain arbitration cost would cost me $1500 with WIPO, and they are located in Switzerland!

Gosh, this has been a total nightmare!

While at RegisterFly, did your domain drop? This may be the reason why it's under someone else's name.

I dont think any domains dropped during that period....pending delete domains would stay as pending delete or something like that.

I have always renewed my domains on-time.

GoDaddy is becoming another RegisterFly-like nightmare for me. They are totally unsympathetic and unresponsive to my requests, even though they know there are problems with the whois database from RegisterFly.

They keep saying they don't believe me even though I have sent them my RF screenshots and renewal records multiple times clearly showing that I own the domains at RF. They said anybody can make up bogus screenshots.

I even told them to log into my RF account and see the domains themselves. They said they can't do that for legal reasons. Can you imagine how pissed off I am? They are beyond reasonable.
