information A Quick Due diligence, saved losing $25k+

Spaceship Spaceship
Watch
Today I come across ASZ.com which is listed for sale at eBay, priced $25k, it's not everyday you see Premium names listed on eBay, even looking into the seller's feedback which was quite disappointing to say the least, showed me this sale isn't gonna be smooth.

So I went over to #Google and typed the following ...

"ASZ.com stolen"
"ASZ.com domain name stolen"


After reading through a few articles, I also found a tweet which was posted July 28th 2020 ( see attached),

So I simply asked the seller a legitimate question....

Did you do Due Diligence on ASZ(.)com, before you purchased this? Where did you buy this?

His response you can see from the attached picture...

@lambo.com ( your #tag )

Last week I come across VVH(.)com which was listed here at Namepros.com

Again went to #google but nothing come up, so I checked the history on the name via http://web.archive.org I found the previous owners contact details and rang them, to check if they sold the name, only to learn they got hacked.

Quick reminder, always to your Due Diligence !!!!

Hopefully I can heed that advice, and this will be my last post in this thread

Unfortunately, I'm not the greatest at disengaging. This thread sparked something yesterday, and my brains been racing ever since.

I was combing through some Archive.org entries for ASZ.com and found two interesting tid-bits.

(1) --unrelated--October 1999
http://web.archive.org/web/19991008130441/http://asz.com/

$8,500 starting price for a 2L.com in 1999? :D

(2) January 29th, 2012 archive entry (parked at sedo)
view-source:http://web.archive.org/web/20120129154744/http://asz.com/

This entry exposes google analytic tracking ID: UA-19309218-3

This could be nothing. As lots of domains seem connected to that tracking ID, and I'm unsure if that's related to a personal account, or a larger service, or just excess code.

Now that you mention it,

I did receive an odd email in my spam box last night.

Suggesting (via including my previous email correspondence with another domain individual -- of which were emails from not my finest/healthiest moments. it's actually one of the few emails that I regret sending.. So it definitely raised an eyebrow to see it resurfaced in the body of the screenshotted email. It was/is an email to me, that serves as a reminder to be aware of my mental health status (and language used) when discussing / making unverified assumptions. Having assumed, and made an ass / embarassment out of myself) that either my communication, or the communication of another domain related company/individual may have been compromised at one point.

The subject line

Re: NamePros

was likely leftover from the previous authentic correspondence between myself and another party. A third unrelated party amf@arabmediaforum.net, was the one that sent the email w/link, on top of an existing outdated email chain that amf wasn't aparty to.

The attached link is a 1drv.ms/ link that I'm not about to open on my current system.

This email is likely unrelated to this thread.

Just saying @Lox's advice is spot on. And definitely good general security advice to adhere to when sniffing around those who make a living off sniffing out others weaknesses. Just not too sure how to convey these concerns to others who may accuse precaution with paranoia. Especially if a persons paranoia could be both directly and indirectly associated with, and without taking warranted precautions.

The question then becomes what makes taking precaution warranted vs paranoid? 😷

Correct. You threaten me on Twitter, to come see me in person, you engage in prolonged defamation and are really just miserable.

I know it's hard over in the UK but keep your sh*te together and don't get in my lane.

FYI off eBay now, your welcome 🤝

Breaking this down.

April 2018: @Acroplex comments in thread connecting [email protected] to alleged stolen BNN.com

Looking at historical WHOIS of domains of which WHOIS is currently connected to [email protected]...

According to Namebio, ASZ[dot]com was the seller of almi[dot]com today. almi[dot]com reportedly sold for 117,500. Weird.

Why "Weird" lol
Because as*.com looks to have been a stolen domain, on the other hand it seems there isnt any previous owner making any claim. Weird.

I think it's time the mods stepped in. If I had a domain in my cache that had a question of ownership, I would happily provide receipts, complete details of how I obtained said domain to any mods offline as well as to claimant (if I didn't want to post in forum). Simple to solve, no need to go back and forth.

This thread serves as testament to how ASZ.com is linked to BNN.com and Brel.com that were stolen.

You can deny it all you want but access to WHOIS records on various tools has displayed the path these domains took since they were stolen.

I've been following and documenting domain related crime for 15 years. This isn't a chest beating competition by the way. Admitting you fucked up in this case, and naming your supplier of stolen assets would elevate your status much more.

Yes, so you continue banging your drum with your faith that something is the case.

After all, you have no idea what is 100% true yet you have the audacity to use such syntax on the domain gang bang blog, interspersed with trite low grade humor often at the disclaim of others.

Just because you use red and try and make yourself look gangsta, covet status yourself - doesn't mean I hold you in any kind of regard other than responsible for your actions.

Ramblings that skip answering simple questions. The domain's status predates its acquisition by you. Ripping off your shirt about its status doesn't baptize it clean. But you are protecting the thief that sold it to you not too long ago.

Lambo, @Jessica Kung would love to hear about your seller, they are also the thief of BNN.com and Brel.com so be a kind soul even if you detest these facts.

The only thing fake here is your calculated "anger." You know very well that the domain was being sold by a thief who got banned on most domain platforms.

Unveil their info FFS.

And just so that we're on track, here's @Grilled 's post from last August:

Clean beautiful name with clear title.

'Stolen' is a social construct used by anyone, anytime.

I could drop my wallet on the floor and say it's stolen

I could send bitcoin to the wrong address, say it's stolen

I could start a satirical blog and pretend to be a journalist, go around kidding others that I know all the stolen domains - report as stolen

I could sell a domain, have sellers remorse then claim it was stolen.

It's a bit like the word racist. Has a certain gusto and mind share, implied accuracy in spite of facts and knowledge.

So no, you or anyone else claiming it is stolen doesn't make it so.

Lol, again there is no anger and I'm not trying to hurt your feelings. The domain is not stolen. It's just that you mess up so much you say and do, including even this post - that I have to reply otherwise one might think you are credible.

More ramblings attacking the messenger and cluttering the message. But it's all documented.

I'm pleasantly surprised @Jessica Kung showed up and finally it's about time for you to come clean and unveil who sold you ASZ.com because perhaps then she can track the thief of BNN.com and Brel.com - same person.
