Some of you may be getting tired of seeing this thread title.
Sadly, the issue may be becoming even more relevant to ongoing listing misdeeds.
Now, there may be an even more disturbing twist.
I had removed all of my Afternic listings directly from my AN account. The domains had been listed there through the Dynadot direct AN listing feature. I even clicked to have the Afternic-Dynadot connection removed. Today, I found that on my Dynadot portfolio, one of the domains was being shown as listed on AN by me. Yes, I checked on AN, and apparently someone had listed one of my domains there, priced higher than what I had listed previously.Dynadot customer support referred me to Afternic to have the spurious listing removed.
The tipping point here, though, is that the fake listing was being propagated to my Dynadot panel as if it was my own. And when I clicked on the AN icon to see the listing on the Dynadot panel, there was a difference that helped me spot this as a fake. THERE WAS NO BUTTON ONTHE FAKE LISTING TO HAVE IT REMOVED.
So, folks, if you are getting unexplained FT approval requests, and are uncertain whether the Dynadot/AN listng is actually yours, check for the button being present that allows you to click to remove it. If it's not there, you can doublecheck directly at Afternic, and spot the imposter.
It is alarming that the owner of a domain can now have an unwanted seller's listing propagated to the actual owner's registrar portfolio vew. And, perhaps even more disturbing is seeing this when the entire Dynadot-Afternic link was supposedly removed.
