I just backordered a dot .ORG domain dropping today at Snapnames. (Will share the domain name in a while if this cheating suspicion is confirmed)
Snapnames has secured the domain as the WHOIS shows [email protected] as owner with create date of today (2015-03-25T14:30:17Z).
But I find that in my "Pending Orders" tab in Snapnames account, the domain status has turned to "Backorder" from "Auction Starting.....". This, as far as I know, is Snapnames telling me that they were NOT able to catch the domain while they actually caught the domain.
Anyone else experienced this? Can they do this, selectively misappropriating backordered domains if they feel like it? Do I need to raise a large hue and cry to get them to get my domain?
Please share your experience if any.

Update: Opened a support ticket, don't have a response on it yet but the auction email was sent to me within seconds of opening the ticket. Just a coincidence?
Anyway, now I am in auction with 1 more bidder. Will reveal the name later.
