@Sedo @namesilo nwx.com listed for sale at $15,750 it's been stolen, NameSilo you are the new registrant I spoke to the owner it was stolen from his mydomain account and transferred to you, this name is stolen.
The offer to me was priced high enough that I thought it was a legitimate reseller offerSometimes when we see a very high value domain being sold for peanuts, we need to take that as a possible red flag and do our due diligence. Some deals may be too good to be true.
NWX.com was stolen from mydomain.com and I am looking for who is now hosting it. Thanks Ron
The stolen domain I purchased was "The Endurance International Group, Inc." also.
because of the email security breach with [email protected] on Startlogic AND because, unbeknownst to me, startlogic, a US company who has housed my CQD.com web site files (and my other websites) since 1996 when i created CQD.com, was sold to Endurance Group International.
They are being stolen through some form of hacking. A person doing the hack can be in any country in the world. As we can see here they posed as a member to gain our confidence, support and comfort and to also use us as a customer base. Most of our members here always do their due diligence when transacting a sale, however we see in this incident that hackers do find ways to slip through the cracks.Wow. I wonder how all these domains are being stolen.

WOW!! That hacker has been a very busy Domain Name Thief....Add the following to the list:
BCI.ORG
LGM.ORG
PVN.ORG
With that amount of domain names being linked to a hacked account should warrant all the registries attached to these domain names to work together with the possibility of a law enforcement investigation....There's about 125 more linked to that account; I only shared the LLL kind after verifying odd changes in ownership. They all have in common previous yahoo/AOL/Comcast etc. accounts. Others are linked to domains that dropped, and re-registered - a common domain hijacking technique.

I got this name for sale via a so called broker for only $12k
Did the seller use patygmar @ gmail.com as their PayPal address?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.
This is not the only domain @PatyGMar has stolen and attempted to sell
I bought eca.net from she/he not knowing it was stolen
There was a NS update between 06-12-2018 to 08-12-2018
I filed claim with PayPal and the name is still under GoDaddy disputeWere you refunded / was the domain returned to the rightful owner?
You also might want to update the trade review you left, to reflect the negative experience.
Something I'm wondering...
... Could the domain have been pushed to another domain.com affiliated registrar prior to being transferred to Namesilo?
According to SecurityTrails.com, the NameServers were changed to ns1.domain.com on or around December 6th. There is no record on SecurityTrails of the nameservers being changed to ns1.domain.com within the last 10 years; it appears to be a first.
I believe the default nameservers for MyDomain.com is ns1.mydomain.com. Whereas the default nameservers for Domain.com is NS1.domain.com.
... hence my thinking, that the domain may have been pushed from mydomain.com to another domain.com affiliated registrar prior to being transferred out. Not sure if that would be reflected in WHOIS updates to confirm or deny.
Just a thought.
afaik u cant push between mydomain dotster netfirms etc
I just asked MyDomain.com chat support if a free push to Domain.com is possible, or if it'd require a paid transfer.
Their response:
"If you buy a domain name with MyDomain, we can move the domain name to Domain.com for free as it our sister concern company ."
not all reps are created equal. proof is in the fact that I was told exact opposite by another rep a while back when I wanted to do that.
pushes are hard even mydomain to mydomain. cause you always have to call them or chat. u cannot do it yourself. then even when u call them, there are 2 ways to do it. and one of them involves knowing the secret accnt question of new owner.
