Domain Scam Alert

[trendicator]

I just got scammed by someone who offered $1500 for 8 of my 4 letter dotcoms, and now i lost 8 domains & no money at all

he made the payment of $1500 to my paypal account, when i first checked it, it seemed perfectly fine, so i pushed the 8 domains to him. An hour later, when i checked my paypal account again, the money was gone as it has been chargeback by paypal claiming that the payment was not authorized.

the scammer uses 2 email addresses:

[email protected]
[email protected]

after some research, someone has found out his real identity being:

Dorobantu Marian
[email protected]
bd tomis nr 68
Constanta, 8700
Romania
40+721328329

the 8 4-letter domains I lost are:

HUUQ.COM
KYYR.COM
QUUH.COM
LJCJ.COM
VUEQ.COM
VZFC.COM
WUUQ.COM
UUBD.COM

other people have been scammed by the same scammer
so Domainers be aware...

Hi! I want you to email that guy and demand your domains back---I emailed him so much he gave up---I have emailed this guy back and forth many times when my domain got stolen--He ended up giving back another namepros domain at the sametime

using this email:
[email protected]?

also, is the phone number correct?

Just posting the stolen names here (and other places) is a good idea.

Last year, a guy scammed me out of an LLL.net, and I posted threads about it here and at DNF. Eventually, someone (who claimed he had bought the domain from the scammer) emailed me to ask if I could take down all those threads about the stolen domain, because they were making it hard for him to sell it! So I told him the story and ended up buying the domain back from him cheap (he said he had paid the same cheap price for it).

Google can be your friend!

anybody has experience how to get back stolen domain at godaddy?
i get response below:
Hello,


Thank you for your email. It appears that you have a 3rd party agreement between yourself and the buyer. We are not able to become involved in this dispute.



Any further disputes over the ownership or wording of the domain name will need to be sent either to the registrant, through an arbitration forum such as World Intellectual Property Organization (http://www.wipo.int), or the court system. Please be assured that if we receive notice of a pending legal dispute we will lock the name so that it cannot be transferred or otherwise modified. Likewise when we receive a Decision we will update the name accordingly.



Thank you.

WOW, he's still doin it.

So i have a question. Does paypal protect you from a case like this?

You pay for domains via paypal. But seller wont transfer them to you and dissapears. You dispute the payment, but does paypal give the money back since this is a non tangible item?

You can write in the paypal description what the domain is, but does this even matter? Would you consider this goods under the options they give you to choose from on paypal?

 

[DomainName1]

Paypal does not protect intangible items.

[trendicator]

will later update, thanks

ask him to pay by egold

and tell him you will transfer domains after that
let see what he can do for this

 

[weblord]

good idea, e-gold will not entertain chargeback or refund. surely he will backout and just say no funds. :lol:
