warning Case Closed.

[Asset]

Vegan (dot) com has been added in auction with a very low reserve ($5k - $10k) on NameJet.
Just spoke with the owner via his old WHOIS email (e/r/i/k/@ vegan (dot) com), and he says it is NOT for sale and has been "fraudulently added". So be careful everybody. I saw the WHOIS was updated just recently, so maybe hacked? @Grilled maybe you can help out. I've already sent emails to the NJ support team @NameJetGM, awaiting answers. But do NOT bid in this auction or anywhere else.

First, you need to know where do the domain names listed on NameJet come from. In some cases, NJ still picking up the names from the old database e.g. the Vegan .com from eNom or Namecheap, (quite often NetSol) etc. Since the name is close to the expiration date (end of May, old db), NJ system think it’s ok to pre-release. The NJ have to fix the bugs and still need to disconnect api from the old (not updated) db. It happens to often.

IMO

I guess this is precisely what happened, it seems to be just a bug in the system, which NJ should improve if so. Thanks @Lox for bringing this to light to clear confusion.

Would need a little more info from the owner to get a better grasp at what to look at. With so much movement to digest, from hawaii to cupertino to florida, hard to know what was legit, and what may indicate something nefarious.

@Grilled the "owner" is not responding via email anymore.

Case closed for me.
