Mixed script "fake" IDN on Sedo

-These are just a couple of many that are on featured domains at Sedo.com, there are very many!

Sedo had stopped allowing them for some time now but slipping back in to their old ways.

They are shown as IDN but they are simply mixed script, English and other languages cobbled together, to look like real English words. Many people have been caught out by this type of worthless rubbish in the past both on Sedo and on the various forums.


holíday.com






amerìca.com etc.

Well done NP's for removing many of them from the forum.

Make sure you don't get caught by them, particularly if you are new to domaining.

In general Sedo can be trusted. It appears however that they have a vetting problem that allows these type of names to be included on their website.
Usuall this will be people vetting names for inclusion who know little about domains.
They went through the same problems a couple of years ago, took a long time for them to sort it out but they did.

NP's on the other hand took immediate action to remove them as soon as they were aware.

First catch! I have advised Sedo twice now but it seems they don't care- again!

Details:

৪৪.COM

Domain Name without content.


"** This domain contains special non-English characters (i.e. "ä","ö","ü","á","é", "í") and is an Internationalized Domain (IDN). Please note that even if the signs in this domain name appear like regular signs, the domain may not be always reachable by typing in the name, due to browser limitations on IDN names and user setup. The domain can be reached by typing in: xn--47ba.com
"
Isn't the above a good disclaimer/warning?

It's a real nuisance to notice the free roam of IDN domains on Sedo and on other marketplaces.
Each time I search for a domain, I must filter the results from IDN.
I wish that people were to figure it out that selling IDN domains is generally not profitable at all.
IDN domains are also being accepted to Sedo top domains sometimes.
Accepting an IDN to Top Domain is just ridiculous.
Not to mention they even accept .club and other new gTLD domains to Top Domains as well.

It is if you have half an idea what you are doing but it's mostly the newbies that get caught each time.

People only read what they want to. Have you tried sending an email to anyone where you have more than point/ request to get over? How many times do you have to ask again to get the second / third whatever resolved.

And at the end of the day these are simple fake IDN posing as real English words or numbers, not from any known language, you think that is OK?

As expected Sedo have done nothing the crap names are all over their featured domains, guess the money is more important than their reputation.

Some poor dupe is either going to end up paying $1000 for a useless fake domain name or will get banned from Sedo when they fail to pay after realising their mistake.

There will no doubt be more the longer Sedo fail to act!

Registered 4 weeks ago, the guy was trying to flog it on NP's with a load of others that were removed by the mods- kudos.
