Ill say this, it is possible the name was stolen, buyer (OP) bought it, escrow did their job and are not at fault in any way.

Basically it appears as though a thief used escrow, period. Why not look at the whois history and track down the last owner and ask what happened.

•••
Before we discuss whether it was a stolen domain or not, you've got to prove to us you actually bought the domain in question. Something is missing somewhere. Is there any email from netsol that confirms your purchase? At least if you can't login to netsol, you should be able to log into your personal inbox. Where is the email from escrow? I will keep seeing your story as a cooked up one until you show evidence of purchase. Forum members should be very careful so we don't end up losing something in the course of looking for what is not missing.

since an escrow.com representative verified OPs sayings in this thread, I consider that proof enough

what troubles me though is that, considering what happened to the OP, an escrow service seems not to give enough protection... not sure how to feel about this :/

Ok did a little digging....

I actually tired to buy this name YEARS ago from the long time owner John Little.

John continued to own the name until March 5th at least, then whois changed within Netsol to a Korean KR owner and not 7, yes SEVEN days later sold to our OP.

Red flags everywhere there but I think it is safe to say the name was stolen from John, resold in 7 days to our OP using escrow.com and Netsol has frozen and taken it back for John.

Case closed, OP learned a lesson now go to bed.

Its now on the OP to hunt the thief down and try to recover funds, escrow cannot help, John Little and Netsol cannot help. At best Netsol could give the OP an IP or something of the thief but still useless really.

OP, bad luck!

why can't escrow.com help? their whole motto preventing fraud and such. escrow.com must have information on the seller and i would think it should be an issue to them that their service was used sell a stolen domain to steal funds from someone.

Ill tell you why, simple really, I can do a escrow transaction with you with info even payment and you will NEVER find me. The info escrow has is as good as the IP address.

Escrow is a middle man, you got name, yes, ok you get funds, that's their job. Escrow cannot possible verify if every name sold is stolen or not nor should be, its always buyer beware no matter the medium imo.

What lesson he or we can learn? What is the take away?

escrow cannot help

Escrow was used to sell a stolen domain. What should they do to avoid these kind of incidents?

I get irritated when DN.com asks me purchase receipts of each of my small domains even after buyer approved transactions. Now I realize they have a point.

Netsol cannot help

Why is it always with Netsol?

I think escrow.com guarantees the funds they pay you for domain slae are 100% verified. .and if they fail, and funds are no good, they pay you from their own pocket..

but obviously, this does not apply to no good/stolen domains, and they do not refund the buyer what he paid the domain, if domain is reverted from buyer account.

I guess the problem here is that its just bad luck escrow did not catch this domain was stolen on time.. before they paid OPs money to thief for it.

The lesson, do your due diligence! If you used whois history it would have set off red flags, call previous owner to verify it was sold to new owner, google emails, numbers etc. Element of risk in every deal but much can be eliminated if you take care.

Escrow, they are a medium, agent, holds funds, releases funds that is it. Can they give the OP info, I suppose but if the thief was good it will be useless.

Why netsol? Easy the thief stole and kept it within netsol meaning no 30-60 day hold most rars do if transferred out, makes it harder to sell fast. They also sold just in time for an allowance of another internal push. Why netsol, if youre the thief, why not!

Holly sh*t man.... this is really not cool. I thought the op would get his money back ... I didn't realize that the seller freakin hijacked the domain from the original owner and then flogged it after a few days to the op... sorry for your loss op. :(

•••
Unfortunately it's caveat emptor. But I do hope the OP gets his money back

Always ask to see a renewal notice/ registration notice which had been sent to the whois email as well as any payment receipt of the reg/renewal before agreeing to do a high value transaction.

Very important point this. It's a no-brainer, IMHO. Bless you @domainventure.

I have been looking at the thieves whois info and really nothing to go on no real cache, name stolen and resold in days maybe as little as 4!

Another far out theory but plausible is the OP is the thief, stole the name, sold it to himself via escrow ( small fee for big name) and hoped that was enough to show ownership and keep it, likely but I will give OP benefit of the doubt. That could explain no whois showing between John Little and the OP...hhhmmm but I digress, escrow did nothing wrong, Netsol and John did nothing wrong. Either OP bought a stolen name or he did what I said above.

In over 10-12 years of recovering 100's of 5-6 figure+ names, helping victims and dealing with the scum out there I have seen it all!

If the OP transferred out of netsol to say ename then John Little would have a HUGE task to recover since OP could show proof of purchase and no idea it was stolen, would have resulted in huge legal fee's for John.

Thieves like to put a layer between names they keep, old tactic.

As a relatively new domainer, I'm glad I joined this forum and came across this thread. I have had someone try to hijack my GoDaddy acct. in the past. I'm not a fan of all things GoDaddy, but the two-factor authentication and 60-Day transfer lock, which can be a pain, make me feel a little more secure from fraud or theft of domains. Now knowing how easy it is to be scammed in a purchase, even through escrow, will make me more cautious when purchasing.

Hmmm a child knows nothing about the real world which makes a child by default naive. I'm giving facts that Nigerian scams exists any fool can Google it. Me suspecting this thread is a scam similar to a Nigerian scam is childish. A child trusts. Adults know the world. So they don't trust and swallow every odd NP thread they come across created by total strangers who just created an account on NP. It is still a free country is it not? We're all entitled to our own opinion within reason.

I have been looking at the thieves whois info and really nothing to go on no real cache, name stolen and resold in days maybe as little as 4!

Another far out theory but plausible is the OP is the thief, stole the name, sold it to himself via escrow ( small fee for big name) and hoped that was enough to show ownership and keep it, likely but I will give OP benefit of the doubt. That could explain no whois showing between John Little and the OP...hhhmmm but I digress, escrow did nothing wrong, Netsol and John did nothing wrong. Either OP bought a stolen name or he did what I said above.

In over 10-12 years of recovering 100's of 5-6 figure+ names, helping victims and dealing with the scum out there I have seen it all!

If the OP transferred out of netsol to say ename then John Little would have a HUGE task to recover since OP could show proof of purchase and no idea it was stolen, would have resulted in huge legal fee's for John.

Thieves like to put a layer between names they keep, old tactic.

an absolutely plausible theory! op could be thief. or op could be thief's friend etc.. that still keeps goods "in the family"... so to speak.. or none of the above. no proof available either way.

thanks for the valuable lessons on domain security.

I am unable to give the benefit of doubt.:-o

Something is wrong here IMO
Seller has offered to you a Domain transfer to any DN Registry of your choice and you choose a push to the current reg. (NetSol. )???
Why not to GD?
Yes, you are new here but its look like you are domainer with some experience, you contacted the seller first, you have paid a domain which price is more than $10k (beginners don't do that), you know how Escrow works, you have a NetSol account...
Domainer with that experience would know stories about NetSol and for sure he will transferred that Domain away from NetSol. You didn't?
Many questions and only few answers....
Maybe @Avtar629 have a right when he says ´´be careful´´!
My 2 cents :)

Could this be possible also? @TheLegendaryJP said there is no whois info between the OP (scammer) and little John. So OP made a fake transaction without really stealing the domain and put a thread here to taint Escrow.com. How about that?

You may note that he stopped responding.

I am pretty sure there was no transaction. Both the buyer and the seller are of same group hence, no money moves outside the ring
