Sedo told me that I made $725,000 offer to IRAN.com but I didn't

kong707 · Dec 30, 2007

In this morning, I checked my email and there was an email from sedo informed me that I have made $725,000 to Iran.com and the seller decided to run an auction. But I didn't do that . Is my account hacked or something like that ? I set my password with the combination of letter and number .Maybe it is not secured enough.

write to them. really dont know if they can track ip address. so tell them to check the IP logs on the bidding.

who did you send your password to? never send your password to ANYONE. if i were you i would call Sedo on Monday and tell them what has happened.

kong707 · Dec 30, 2007

I have never send my password to anyone. I have contacted sedo already.

abcproductions · Dec 30, 2007

i'm sorry i misread your post. i thought you said you sent your password but you said set. my mistake. if you have contacted Sedo and explained the situation, let them handle it and investigate when and from what IP the offer was made. you are not liable if you did not make the offer.

I think maybe your Sedo account be hacked

Devil_Dog · Dec 30, 2007

If I was the owner of iran.com, I probably would have accepted that bid and not risked sending it to auction.

How greedy can you be?

janiema · Dec 30, 2007

wonder if they will continue the auction?

mis_chiff · Dec 30, 2007

EDIT: Just noticed that the parking page on it has
a link to the sedo auction.

raredn.com · Dec 30, 2007

The Auction is still up as of this post. So the owner of iran.com got someone to hack into your account so he could sell the domain name for the price he wants. Well I don't want to point the finger, but ummmm, I will anway.........

Then again would anyone be silly enough to do that, obviously sedo would cancel the auction anyway (sedo has nearly a full 7 days to investigate the claim) so the seller of iran probably is innocent.....The plot thickens, doom doom, doom doom, doom doom

I wonder who owns iran.com???? anyone know

I was thinking the same thing. This leads me to believe that he was somehow involved with all of this...... :td:

Tell him you will pay in Iraq Dinars.

rudyhernandez · Dec 30, 2007

As of right now, the auction is still running at Sedo!
5d 7h 27m left.
Crazy!

:gl:

nmr86 · Dec 30, 2007

isnt it sold many times for like 400k .. 500 k ??

maybe the new owner wants to make a quick few hundred k's ...

Folks , Did it ever occur to anyone - That MANY people have Allowed their SessionID to be posted in threads and on sites all over the web ? Remember people gaining access to others accounts this way in the past ? I do ...

In other words , Don't throw around accusations Please - Many times it can come back to bite you

And BTW -

DigiPawn is owned by one of the most respected Domainers around .... Anyone in this industry more than 5 minutes should know this.

Also - Digipawn (For those who dont know) Can be your Friend

If you need Working Capital and have some decent Domains setting around

Moniker was selling iran.com in one of there recent auctions, so it's really still under contract from my understanding. This would mean the owner (digi pawn) would also owe Moniker 15% of the sale price as well as Sedo's fees.

Oh well, I would contact SEDO asap, and inform them that you did not post the offer.

Mark · Dec 30, 2007

Also - Go around to the other forums/sites and make sure you haven't posted a link with your SessionID included ... I checked your posts and threads here at NP and see none. If you right click a link while logged in at Sedo and then copy/paste it to a site - It can include the SessionID , And in the past people could just click the link and be in your account if you haven't logged out.

I'm half tempted to move this to private really until we know the situation , But at the same time if Sedo hasnt closed this gaping hole - People need to know about it.

I didn't post any links contains my session id ( As I search through all my posts here and in DNF ) Thanks for your suggestion

I have contacted sedo but they do not reply so far. Maybe their company are in new year break.

labrocca · Dec 31, 2007

I bet some stupid iranian hackers did this. Not sure what they thought they could get out of it though.

Lasher · Dec 31, 2007

I've had someone else's bank account details (a gentleman in India) posted to my Sedo account by SEDO themselves in the past so nothing surprises me with that site.

Not only did this reveal some information he probably didn't want a complete stranger to have, but any payment made to me by Sedo would have gone somewhere else. Turned out it was an "administration error".

Sedo desperately need to get their #$)# together.

if sedo has not contacted you back as of yet, then that is why it is still at auction- the seller wasnt even told it was a wrong bid so he knows nothing- sedo takes off weekends, holidays, for welcome back kotter marathons......

Sedo told me that I made $725,000 offer to IRAN.com but I didn't
