$10K Afternic transaction canceled after transfer

A year and a half later, still going through this. LMAO

Afternic had ALL of 2020 to improve - and they failed. What a joke.

Got this email last night - for the same domain as last time:



PMed Joe, went to sleep. Woke up, no reply. Called Afternic Transaction Assurance and the lady assured me funds were received and the transaction looks good. She told me to begin the transfer process. I let her know my account was suspended the last time this happened. She told me to do a password reset and I'll be good. Hung up and the password reset email never came.

A few hours later, I called Afternic TA again. They told me it was a GoDaddy transaction and Afternic had to wait for them to do their due diligence. I let him now I still couldn't get into the account. He said he'd email a VP to get it sorted. Shortly after, I got this email:



Called Afternic TA once more. This guy told me the transaction was fraudulent. LOL! I asked him to remove my domain(s) from Afternic. Who is running the show over there? They are completely clueless!!

(Still haven't heard from Joe )

We stopped using those registrars and resales sites a while ago due to issue after issue unresolved.
Have you tried Dan.com?

Dan.com is the only place I list them. When they told me they were suspending my account a year and a half ago, I assumed they'd remove any domains in my account for sale. I had no idea they still had this listed.

Glad to hear that. That shows you the level of their incompetence even more clearly. Definitely raises the eyebrow as a cause for concern in regards to inside scams.

I get pretty steady sales on Afternic. Just had one this morning. I like them all. Never had any issues over the years.

Hi @Nick I still haven't read your email. I took two weeks off around Christmas and I'm trying to catch up on everyone's PM's, alerts tagging me etc. Just to put it into perspective I recently checked and I have had over 1k interactions here in the past 12 months, that's not including texts, emails, blog comments, Twitter and FB messages and PMs etc from other platforms, that is just here.
So I try my best to answer everyone but the support teams are always around 24-7 if I am not able to answer right away and they can escalate issues for you. I will get to your email today. I am caught up to messages until January 4th now I believe

Thanks, Joe. No reply is necessary at this time, though. Hopefully any domains of mine are removed from the platform.

Sure just didnt want you to think I am ignoring you and letting you know the best way to get a fast answer if I am not around.
