Does anyone know anything about BackOrderZone.com? I can't find much out about them from their website or whois. Who is behind this website?

Has anyone tried them? Can they compete against NameJet/SnapNames/Reberry? How much are their backorders?

I'm reluctant to give them my credit card info just when signing up. I think they could at least register me first so I could try them out. Then if I try to backorder something with blank credit card info, they send me there to complete it.

Long time since I've posted in here but found this thread on a search.

After a little more research what I've found is pointing to 'Kennen Palm' and in April 2012 ICANN sent notice of breach.

Going to be digging into this a bit further though because of an interest in a domain they recently snatched up. ;)

Following up

OK. I've been doing a bit of research and also have an investigator doing a bit of research as well. Seems most of it points to this: http://www.prbuzz.com/technology/50711-domain-match-makers.html

What's interesting about this is that the first Address is a UPS store and the second address is a small house in California.

And based on various filings it's leading me to http://www.dataintelligencellc.com/ which is a Tennessee Limited Liability Company operating out of New Jersey.

It appears they have a number of domain names as well. Something about all this does smell a bit fishy and it appears they are trying to hide from something or behind something.

How this company is grabbing highly desired back-order domains that larger more reputable companies cannot is what's bothering me.

Another interesting tid bit of information is that this company formed shortly after Registerfly was shut down.

Name: DATA INTELLIGENCE GROUP, LLC
Status: Active Initial Filing Date: 09/12/2007
Formed in: TENNESSEE Delayed Effective Date:
Fiscal Year Close: December AR Due Date: 04/01/2013
Term of Duration: Perpetual Inactive Date:
Principal Office: 9045 CAROTHERS PKWY
STE 200
FRANKLIN, TN 37067-1799 USA
Mailing Address: PO BOX 682063
FRANKLIN, TN 37068-2063 USA​

The address of the filing is the address of Community First Bank & Trust.

Hmmm.... Definitely going to dig into this a bit more because something isn't right. There's already been a breach filed by ICANN, I wonder if they've done anything outside of a formal letter which in essence does nothing.

UPDATE:
OK, the Registerfly.com domain name did drop and was scraped up by DomainScout.com or NameScout.com which is 1 MORE NAME LLC which leads back to Kennen Palm but which also leads to BellNames and interestingly enough to http://www.momentous.ca/ which owns Pool.com.

Namejet relied upon Enom to catch this domain and apparently DomainScout grabbed it a millisecond prior to Enom so they got the domain.

Seems there's quite a few different brands and websites all tied to certain individuals which all tie together under different and multiple entities all registered via efile.

Thanks for this. I think many of the names are bogus. But it is apparent that the people behind this scheme are of Ukrainian/Armenian origin (see previous page).

Note that DomainScout.com is not DomainScout.ca. But it looks like DomainScout.ca is no longer part of Pool/Momentous.
It could be that they purchased an existing registrar, just like they sold one to Epik.
There is also the case of Domainator.ca.
I need to dig more.

I have another address

intrust/backorderzone use Colorado for incorporation purposes most of the time, and they like to set up multiple corporations.

Intersolved is also a DNF member.
Here is what 'Miranda Brown' has to say:
My name is Miranda and I just started working for a domainer who has basically given me full control over his portfolio to sell. I have about 34,000 domains which are all currently collecting traffic, but I need to sell some to earn Christmas money! I dont even know where to begin with this. What should I do with all this inventory? When I first joined him I posted everything in a blog on here.... but now I am stuck. HELP!
http://www.DNF/group.php?discussionid=65


A blog:

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

I worked for a company that sent out thousands of emails a day..... very important to remember, whether you send one or 1,000 "spam" emails, make sure you do not send them from your primary email! Depending on the host company, if you get just a couple of people reporting you as spam, it can cause your emails to not land correctly, even if you are replying to emails sent to you!
Mind you, it's 100% legit and legal business :|

http://www.DNF/f557/re-communicating-domain-name-owners-thread-497318.html#post2134562


So I believe she/it is more or less related to the intrust/backorderzone gang. Could be a naive person trapped as a mule for the purpose of domain laundering. But her spamming techniques are much less sophisticated :wave:

I am not convinced that the Ken Palm animal is a person that actually exists, because they also make up bogus names. But I have reason to believe that Poghosian Argam is a real person and mastermind.

You know what, 'they' must be reading us anyway. Occasionally they step in to croak a comment as if they had any reputation:
http://acro.net/blog/domains/backorderzone-beat-snapnames-and-pool/

Always remember we're not dealing with pesky spammers here, but dedicated cybercriminals.

Well, I don't know about all the claims above... but I can say.... We have nothing to do with Intrust Domains. We are a company who focuses on building traffic portfolios and collecting PR domains. That is pretty much all we do, though we are open to selling any of our domains if people want them. We do not spam, I don't email anyone more than once about a domain, if even once. I find it tedious. We own all of the domains we offer for sale, and if someone buys, I transfer about 95% of the domains myself, so I know it gets there quickly.

"Miranda",

Do you realize what you've just written contradicts your own posts at DNF.

You don't spam ? But you did, also in a personal capacity.

You own all of the domains you offer for sale ?
This is not what you stated at DNF:
My name is Miranda and I just started working for a domainer who has basically given me full control over his portfolio to sell. I have about 34,000 domains
What kind of domainer has 34,000 domains ? It's not your average type.

By the way, which of the 8 Intersolved companies above do you represent, assuming there are not all the same entity ?

You are linking to an email from Josh, who hasn't been employed here in months. When he was employed here he was only here for a couple months. I work at Intersolved, LLC and Intersolved, LLC owns 34000 domains. I dont understand the questions. I have not spammed you, and I am only listing domains for sale in the portfolio my company owns. I am sure there are many domainers who own more domains then we do.

So whats the verdict? Is this company legit or not?

I use it sometimes but don't bid high.
And of course I transfer out the domains ASAP.

I have recently back-ordered a domain at Backorderzone.com and they did beat Namejet, Snapnames, Pool, Name, Hexonet and some others. I know this because I did backorder this domain too at all these other drop catchers. Of the +/- ten times I back-ordered a domain at Backorderzone.com, one was a success, so in my case it has a success rate of about 10% which is pretty good I think. Everything, bidding, payment and delivery went smoothly. Transfer-out is still pending, but I guess that won't be a problem too.

Final price = bidding price + $49 (1 credit).

AN APPEAL! Need Help with A Backorderzone.com Issue

I use it sometimes but don't bid high.
And of course I transfer out the domains ASAP.

I tried to join Backorderzone.com in order to secure a .com domain site name for a non profit organization I work for. I saw they are auctioning it off with now less than 40 hours left. I have been told because we did not back order it in time so we can not join their little club of bidders currently bidding on our name.

It seems rather unfair that this domain could fall into the hands of one of one of the corrupt corporations we fight every day or some opportunist looking to make a quick buck from a charity with little money to spare.

I am at a loss as to what to do and found this site doing some research. I don't know if it is even possible to find a good samaritan proxy bidder at this point but I thought I would do everything I could to try and prevent this domain from falling into the wrong hands.

So if there are any members of Backorderzone.com out there that might be willing to step up and help us please contact me via PM or post,

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

^^ john, it happened to me to. I missed the backorder date, and to give a due credit to BOZ they did not allow me to enter the auction, so they are fair.

as to your question, you can try to buy the domain by contacting the person who wins the auction if he/she would like to help you kindly in your matter on mutually beneficial conditions.

Hi guys, I just want to let you know that I have just also transferred a domain from Bellnames.com (Backorderzone.com) to another registrar, it went totally smoothly. You can also accept the transfer request manually (@ Bellnames.com interface), so you can even transfer out a domain name within one hour.

Before you start a transfer, make sure that you have registered the domain name more than 60 days ago, else there will be an error (this rule is valid @ every domain registrar).

When someone needs a bidder @ backorderzone and doesn't have an account -> pm me

http://epik.com/blog/epik-completes...ains-to-add-registar-management-platform.html

http://domainnamewire.com/2011/07/14/epik-acquires-domain-name-registrar-intrustdomains/

The official version is that the registrar operation was purchased in a one-off deal. I'm sure Epik will deny they still have anything to do with the very shady characters behind intrustdomains/backorderzone.

If you sleep with dogs you will catch catch fleas :guilty:

:)

so, the current status is that Intrustdomains and BackorderZone are two distinct and competing entities.

let us see the future developments of this story.

What happened with BackorderZone ?

:hi: everyone,

Sorry to bump such an old topic. But because this is highly rated in google search, I wanted to clarify a few points about our company.

My name is Jay, and I am the COO of backorderzone. You can reach me anytime through PM's here or through support (at) backorderzone.com, if you call in, ask for me! Everyone is treated as a VIP at our site.

First, our company is privately owned by Argam Poghosian. He is the CEO and has not been involved with any other company referenced here, unless it is related to capturing domains with us. Just like any other backorder service, we do business with many different companies. We currently outright own 40+ domain registrars, which means that many of those registrars were purchased from companies that originally used their own brand as the registrar name. To clarify, we are NOT owned by intrustdomains, epik or any other company in this thread. You can call us, email us, etc. and you will never talk to someone at our company that does not work directly for backorderzone.com or bellnames.com (our domain platform)

Second, someone accused our company of "stealing" domains. As other users in this thread have said, we are very strict with our auction rules. Once an auction begins we do not let ANY other users in the auction, even if they offer us all of the money in the world to do so. (And trust me, we have been offered a lot.) In addition to this, we strictly disallow any of our own staff members to use our backorder service if there is more than one backorder for the domain.

Third, regarding bellnames.com. This is our domain landing platform, this is where our backorderzone.com domains are managed. Just like any other registrar/host, anyone can use our platform and point it to hosting, email servers, etc. We do not spam, because we have no reason to spam. We offer backorder services and we profit off of our auctions and credit purchases, we upsell on hosting, domain registration and email services at bellnames. When we get any reports of spamming from our hosting servers, the issue is immediately handled and the TOS offender is removed. We manage over 100,000 domains, all owned by many different users, and unfortunately we can not police them all.

I hope this clears some things up, I am very transparent about our operations here and I am willing to answer any questions you may all have about our service.

These intrust guys are a big time cheat. They have scammed me earlier. If these people are the same guys then better not to deal with them or place backorder. If these are the same guys then they are wolf in sheep's clothing. They must be using shill bidders to escalate prices as that is what I expect from these cheaters that is what they used to in the old glory days of intrust.

Beware of these intrust domains (Backorderzone.com) scammers.

Please guys conduct some more investigations on this issue and make it clear. I also believe backorderzone.com = instrustdomains.com
