UPDATE
If you own a lot of domains, you probably are used to receiving a lot of spam like this:
Years on, the scum from Market Plaza International LLC are still at it. They figured a long time ago that the best way to spam is to have one's own registrar. Not just one, but at least
two dozens:
Code:
NamePal.com #8001 United States
NamePal.com #8002 United States
NamePal.com #8003 United States
NamePal.com #8004 United States
NamePal.com #8006 United States
NamePal.com #8007 United States
NamePal.com #8008 United States
NamePal.com #8009 United States
NamePal.com #8010 United States
NamePal.com #8011 United States
NamePal.com #8012 United States
NamePal.com #8013 United States
NamePal.com #8014 United States
NamePal.com #8015 United States
NamePal.com #8016 United States
NamePal.com #8017 United States
NamePal.com #8018 United States
NamePal.com #8019 United States
NamePal.com #8020 United States
NamePal.com #8021 United States
NamePal.com #8022 United States
NamePal.com #8023 United States
NamePal.com #8024 United States
NamePal.com #8025 United States
NamePal.com #8026 United States
NamePal.com #8027 United States
NamePal.com #8028 United States
NamePal.com, LLC United States
The Namepal registrars are all associated with Backorderzone. Of course the domains are not going to be shut down for abuse because the spammer and the registrar are the same entity. The registrars are involved in two distinct operations: dropcatching (legal) and mass spamming (illegal and in violation of the registrar agreement).
Remember Bellnames ? I'm sure you do. They are still around.
Example:
https://www.internic.net/registrars/registrar-719.html
Code:
NamePal.com #8001
PO Box 950158
Lake Mary Florida 32795
United States
+1.720.921.8850

bellnames.com is registered at namepal.com, and when you do a whois query, the record for this particular domain is empty. It's funny. Still clinging on to a tarnished brand.
Namepal is a registered FL corporation. Check the record for yourself:
Code:
Registered Agent Name & Address Poghosian, Argam
3525 W Lake Mary Blvd
Suite 308B
Lake Mary, FL 32746
Name Changed: 03/24/2013
Address Changed: 03/24/2013
Authorized Person(s) Detail Name & Address
Title MGR
MARKET PLAZA INTERNATIONAL, LLC
1755 Telstar Drive
Suite 114
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80920
The exact sale address in Lake Mary, FL is listed on namepal.com under 'Contact us'.
Argam Poghosian = namepal.com
Once again, MARKET PLAZA INTERNATIONAL, LLC, Namebind, Intrust, Argam Poghosian, Bellnames, goname.com and others are all linked together.
If you still have a hard time connecting the dots, read the thread from the beginning. What is important to know is that Intrust = Market Plaza Intl, a company run by Poghosian and Ukrainian partners.
And it's not by chance that their domain name MPISOFT.COM is registered at Namepal.
Besides, the phone number 720.921.8850 has been listed under the name of both Poghosian and Market Plaza.
And what about 719-694-4022, that was listed on MPISOFT.COM and promptly removed when posted in this thread ? It
points to Mr Poghosian again. Mind you, this is just another coincidence just in case you are not convinced Market Plaza = Poghosian.
Also, both Market Plaza and Intrust have used this address:
6140 TUTT BLVD SUITE 230
COLORADO SPRINGS
CO 80923
By the way namepal.com is hosted on IP address 198.49.65.148. It belongs to a range assigned to... Market Plaza International, LLC.
Proof:
https://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-198-49-65-144-1/pft?s=198.49.65.148
Address listed:
3525 W. Lake Mary Blvd
City Lake Mary
Proof:
https://whois.arin.net/rest/customer/C05143917
That is Mr Poghosian's, quoted above
And:
https://whois.arin.net/rest/poc/NETWO5125-ARIN.html
We have on the same page: Namepal, Market Plaza International, LLC, 720-921-8850, and the Lake Mary address.
In fact, not only do they own a number of IP addresses, they also have their own AS because they are serious about spamming:

Check the whois section again.
But Backorderzone have
stated on this very forum that Mr Argam Poghosian has nothing to do with this crap. Untrue. He is always around everywhere. I posted more than enough evidence. Either they are lying, or their CS employees are unaware that their boss is involved in shady stuff. Fact is, Backorderzone is owned by a shady character. Now they cannot ignore this. I therefore advise against dealing with Backorderzone and related entities in any way. While you backorder domains from them (and place bids on their website) they rape your inbox with utter garbage. Can you trust a company like that ?
It's been years, and the domain spam always originates from platforms that are under the control of Backorderzone and siblings. When is this going to end ?
