information Hand-registered Kweb.com at GoDaddy

[infosec3]

I apparently was able to register kweb.com, which was dropping today. I was charged the registration fee and received a confirmation email, but, as I had suspected, it appears to be a false positive. Soon after this, I received another email indicating the registration was unsuccessful.

I recently checked Whois and the domain status is "Pending". It had happened to me before, a couple of years ago with different names. Has it happened to you?

Its happened to me a number of times within the last year. They eventually reimburse you. Hopes are high but then they shoot you down when that unsuccessful email is received.

Sometimes it happens.

Has it happened to you?

I registered P/r/o/m/o/t/e/I/Q/./c/o/m on December 5th. For some reason it appeared on ExpiredDomains.net even though it was still within 75 days of expiration. GoDaddy even allowed me to seemingly register it.

I then submitted the domain to BrandBucket.

GoDaddy then emailed me saying the registration was unsuccessful.

I knew from the following previous email to wait until the domain was accepted to ask for the removal.

I emailed BrandBucket explaining the situation. At that time, I thought somebody registered the domain before me. I researched it and found it was still in the redemption period soon to be deleted. I had been waiting for this domain to drop.

On January 15th, I took a 12AM flight home from NamesCon. I landed at 6 AM and had to drive 4 hours home in negative degree weather. My radiator blew up on the way home. I spent the day at the mechanic instead of domaining. The domain was registered shortly after being dropped by BrandBuckets own @michaeljkrell

Any names found to be Pending Delete will be watched and registered by BrandBuckets employees?

This happened to me last December. SMH

It's pretty common. Happened to me quite a few times. Although, I didn't go around making a big deal like that guy who bought Google from Google.

, Hopefully, one day, somebody will escape with a big one, without their notice.

It looked intentional or sort of a professional theft. Imaging a cartel that will cancel many of such orders and register it for their group.
