FYI, today I won a NameJet auction, after a last minute bidding war with NameJet user “taryn”, whose bids ended driving the ending price up to $4,000. (I won the auction.)
It’s not a person, it’s a bot. I’ve recorded several auctions with this “Taryn” bot coming in to drive up prices in the last 5 minutes. Surprisingly enough, he/it is never in the original bidder pool. Every time the bot wins an auction, the DNS changes instantly. Normally this is a 24 hour process.
This phantom bidding happens with Netwo*ksolu*ions deletions. I’ve moved all my domains out of Netwo*ksolu*ions after several incidents with them. I will not give them any business and I definitely DO NOT recommend them as a honorable or reputable business.
