NameJet doesn't secure a drop picked up by Enom

[NameClerk]

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".

case and point, today the name moldspecialist in the dot com (enom name) dropped, there was many many orders on nj for it. NJ did not catch it.

Its important to understand the difference between a pre-release (guaranteed nj name) or pending delete (up for grabs by everyone).

Also note, many people use enoms api, so if you ordered a pending delete thru nj then saw its in a enom account it doesnt mean its nj's.

And here is another bit of news, if you ordered a drop with dyna and you see it was picked up at dyne it can mean someone with dyna's api grabbed it and not dyna itself.
