I sold a Blog on Flippa once and they guy was happy after I catered to him post sale. Then he asked me for positive rating. Minutes after that he filed a dispute with Paypal saying he did not get his PLAYSTATION? It almost worked if not for all the evidence I had including his laughing about his own scam in an email to me.

I think we need a Resource we can all refer to on the dangers of scammers and the experiences perhaps to learn from. Of course a scammer would also read it and make the adjustments haha.

Are there any updates on this?

I purchased an LLL.net from this person. I did do my due diligence on the name as best I could. I required the auth code and transfer prior to paying. It went smooth.

A day later, I received a contact via whois privacy from a gentleman in North Carolina. He noticed his email stopped working. Long story short, he has owned the domain for over 20 years. His domain account was apparently hacked and both his password and secret questions were changed. He is still trying to access his domain account.

I have initiated a paypal dispute. Obviously I can't keep the mans domain. It's stolen property.

I alerted NP mgmt, and they apparently have closed the user's account.

What a shame.

Update
I am happy to report that Paypal has finalized my claim and I have received a full refund.

I have also reached out to the real domain owner with the good news. I look forward to returning his domain immediately.

Same for me as well

Would love to hear an update from @Ron Bearden

My Final Update
I have connected with the true owner of the stolen domain I purchased. He followed my instructions to create a free account at NameSilo (the domain was transfer locked). I then pushed the domain to him. He is very happy to have recovered his domain. The end.

FWIW: NYE2020Party.com redirects to the previous for sale landing page of NWX.com...

Regged 9/6/2018 @ MyDomain.com (the same registrar NWX was housed in prior to the alleged theft)

Ron texted me to let me know he has his name back.
