report Attempted domain theft ?

[wolfis.com]

on saturday night ( prime time for domain theft ) i got an email all in russian that read ( after translation )

-----
GoDaddy received a request from Dmitry Volkov by [email protected] of 14 May 2016 on the transfer of registration records under our control.

You received this message because you are the owner of a registered trade mark or the administrative contact for the domain name. If you are not the owner of the domain, or transfer to a new owner, please forward this communication to the owner of the account, to complete the transfer process.

-----

( there is more on this email like the security key - the domain name and what to do the transfer the domain to godaddy.com )

i never ever use godaddy.com for anything ( in the past 15 years ) as they did me wrong a very long time ago .

i emailed the person to stop trying to steal my domain and i get a very nasty email back the he bought i at godaddy as it was listed for sale there . ( i never ever list anything at godaddy.com EVER )

he also said that he supposibly already paid for the domain at godaddy.com .

question : if his story where true , should i have not gotten any email from godaddy that the domain is sold and that the buyer paid for it ?

remember i did not list any domain at godaddy.com and i did not get any email from godaddy other than the transfer request - which also does not say anything about the domain being sold or been paid for .

there is not whois protect on that domain and the domain name was listed during that time on this forum ...

what do you think ?

 

[melisayong]

I just sold my first domains on godaddy this week, In my account it shows "Funds received, authorization pending" My question here is how many days it will appear in the account the link to contact the buyer

 

[Shams]

Did you contact Godaddy about this? The first thing i would do.

But yes Godaddy are strange, they send me email every week urging to renew one domain that was transferred away from them a year ago...

Because possibly that person still using your whois info. Check that and let us know.

[Domainzy]

Payment cleared. Buyer was professional with good communication.

I really don't care if he in fact buys domains ... He still has no business to make a transfer request on a domain that I as the only owner have not listed at godaddy !!
It's that simple and I also do not care if he replies with profanity to my emails after I tell him that he stop trying to steal my domain !

2 weeks earlier I got an email from godaddy insisting to verify my auction listing . So I know there is a lot of scams and fraud going on !

He is not trying to steal your domain at all. He saw the listing on GD and paid for it. The domain investor who owned the domain before you forgot to remove it from GD. It's that simple.

He is asking you for a transfer request because that's what buyers do. All you have to do is tell the buyer that the previous owner had it listed for sale NOT YOU. He will get a refund from GD and that will be the end of it.

Best regards

I can verify that person mentioned in this thread is a legitimate buyer. Have already sold two domains to him and we're in talks for some more.

It really is a shame for these threads to appear without getting deleted immediately when so many users vote for him.

At the moment , by searching his name +'domains' you get his name along with the description 'domain theft' in google
This is plainly unfair and unacceptable!

it'd be a good idea if this person's email and name got deleted form this thread.

 

[wolfis.com]

Wait a minute !

Fact is he insisted ( with calling me nasty name ) that I transfer that domain even so I told him I never do business with godaddy !!!

Also read more at the beginning of this thread and you will notice that even godaddy representative was not sure if that is Legos !!

So hold your horses about deleting this thread ... Nothing changed other than that some very new members now saying they had a positive experience does not change the fact what happen !!!!

So don't you even start trying to make me the bad guy here !!!!!!!!

Just stay with the facts !!!!

 

[Hypersot]

Guy *is* legit and you're doing him great harm by doing this.
If all the users above that vote for him are not enough for you for 'facts' then.. there is nothing else to say here.

@wolfis.com Multiple people already proved the buyer is real. All the buyer has done(besides be rude to you) is buy domains off GD and ask for the transfer codes.

The buyer also asked me for the transfer codes BEFORE GD approved the payment... I simply told the buyer he will need to wait till GD approves payment. His exact response: "OK".

So please consider you are dragging an honest persons name through the mud simply because you can't grasp the fact that: YOUR DOMAINS WERE LISTED FOR SALE ON GD BEFORE YOU OWNED THEM.

Put yourself in the buyers shoes... lets say you paid for domains at GoDaddy and asked for the transfer codes... The domain owner tells you that they are not for sale and it is a mistake.... Suddenly you see YOUR name on a public forum claiming thief and scam.... How would you feel??

Yes, I completely agree with you. Very unlucky for Dmitry to deal with this. All people here understand the situation, only one don't want to understand it and make it to be serious by his own way

 

[wolfis.com]

He stated calling me every name in the book and was very nasty and for me this is not resolved .. I will not be treated that way from nobody and if people don't know how to behave and how to do business the right way nothing will change !

I was don't wrong by him period !!

It is his turn to apologize and I will try to remove the name and email ... It is that simple !

Wow! You even stated: "if people don't know how to behave and how to do business the right way"

You tried to warn the community about his actions... But ironically the community is more worried about YOUR actions....You think that two wrongs make a right?? (IMO your doing much worse)


PS.... all of his recent payments on GD have cleared in my account. And if your domains were listed by you(which they were not) you would have been paid too.

 

[wolfis.com]

Wow not sure what I did now .. Did you even read the beginning ... Even the godaddy rep said the email does not look right ... Please do explain why I am the bad guy now ?

And where is the community nor worried about my action ... What exactly was my action that is so wrong ?

Can you even read ? I got an email insisting that I transfer my domain I have for years and when I refuse he is calling me every name In the book ... And now you and everyone else says it's ok to send transfer requests to some stranger and if he refuses getting nasty and when I try to find out if it is legit I am the bad guy ... What is wrong with you people ???

READ THE WhOLE THREAD !!

I don't think that Dmitry have done something wrong in order be created the bad name in this thread, so he will not apologise YOU, @wolfis.com

So everyone thinks it's ok to call everyone idiot and stuff ... Well I will remember this !

 

[Domainzy]

If you put yourself in HIS shoes... you would understand. I agree with you that him calling you names is not right! But besides that... he has done nothing wrong.

Imagine if you discovered someone was dragging your name through the mud simply because you tried to buy domains off GoDaddy!

Him calling you names in private (because he paid for domains and you won't/SHOUNDN'T send) is wrong.

You publicly calling him a scammer and thief and insisting when we have all explained what happened is wrong.

Which is worse?

 

[wolfis.com]

Again .. You did not read the whole post ... I was asking if this guy is real and told my story of what happened and exactly what happened ... I did not post he in fact stole nor did I call him in this tread a thief ... All I was asking is information and if you would have actually read all the replies after my original post you would actually realize that several people including the godaddy rep did think in fact that it was a scam .

So again read everything before making me the bad guy or did never anybody tell you to read the whole story to accuse people of doing wrong ... If no one ever told you that you are in bad shape ... First read the whole info and not just the parts you like !!

@wolfis, you received a transfer request from GoDaddy and emailed the "buyer" accusing him of trying to steal your domain.

If you are a buyer and received an email from the "seller" accusing you for trying to steal, and then start a forum thread with your name and email address questioning was it a thief attempt, how would you feel and / or react?

@The rest who have notifications that funds are good, have you emailed the auth code and any transfer initiated?

Yes GD has informed me all the payments had been verified. And most of the domains he bought have been plucked out of my GD account already, and the other domains I have sent the transfer codes.

Buyer is a legit business man.
