Here's a basic overview of what happened.
I back ordered a pending delete domain (don't want to reveal it yet) at Namejet. I was the only person to place a back order on it. I was surprised by this as it had nearly 100,000 exact Google searches a month.
The domain dropped and was caught by Enom yesterday. Immediately after the drop, the domain status showed up as "pending auction" in my NameJet console. This morning the status had changed to Wishlist. Namejet is claiming they failed to secure the domain.
I was under the impression that Enom is a partner registrar of Namejet. Is is possible for Enom to grab a domain that has a Namejet backorder and not turn it over to the person that placed the back order?
I don't want to make any accusations yet but I'm suspicious that Enom just decided to keep it for themselves since the price wasn't to their liking.
A whois lookup on the domain lists Enom as the registrar but no contact details are listed. In fact, it displays "domain not found".
