I think I was scammed on the NamePros domain auction

[Coolalex]

I bought devildogs-clan.com on the domain auction on wednsday for 540 np and i sent him the nps and told him that i won the auction several times and only got 1 reply from him that said something like "i gotta switch the server to be able to send it" which makes no sence because it was on namecheap. I still have not heard from him at all.

"a bit.. n00bish" mabe he don't know no better, Contact RJ or one of the staff and than thay can get intouch with the owner, or something like that.

Not saying he is lieing or anything, but his profile says " NameBucks: 0.00" now... so mabe he took the money and run ?

Hope you get your domain or at least your NP back, thats a lot of NP

I am investigating the matter.

For reference,
http://www.namepros.com/ushop.php?do=userhistory&userid=23489

A duplicate account was created (t4de) to which his remaining NP$ and domain registrations were pushed to. 131.95 NP$ is now on hold from the account. I have contacted him in hopes we can resolve this quickly.

Dudesy, please do the right thing!

Yes, he is a bit noobish. Infact, on wednesday me and him were searching around for his registar. He thought it was enom, but he didn't have an account. Then he thought it was namecheap (He was confused, whois said both). I told him to check if it was registered here, he said it wasn't... Maybe it's in his t4de account. Simalar thing happened with runnyeggs.com, witch he as registered with me.... He was susposed to send the buyer a link to request it but I still have not gotten the request.

I've sent him a message on AIM telling him what he should do, I'll try to educate him a bit :P (He's a friend from school)

 

[Coolalex]

Thank you all

 

[Dudesy]

coolalex, I have not scammed you. I owed the remaining np$ to my friend who recently signed up....and i bought something for him too. Me and cvxdes were trying to find out what actually happened to the domain, because it is not on any of my accounts, and i did not sell or do anything with the domain. I do not log on here everyday, so I'm sorry. I'm still searching.

 

[Coolalex]

Ok i understand dudesy

Devildogs-clan.com is registered with Namecheap.

Namecheap is an ENOM reseller, so that's where you may have been confused.

 

[Coolalex]

hmm , i still want my points or domain

 

[Coolalex]

i still dont understand whats gonna be done with this

 

[RJ]

Dudesy says he still intends to transfer the name to you.

If he does not do so in a timely fashion, then the 131.95 I have on hold will go to you, and the domain he registered with the funds you sent will be considered to be registered with stolen funds and revoked.

Dudesy -- the name is with NameCheap.com. If you need help logging in there, contact their support team.

 

[Coolalex]

Thanks rj

 

[cvxdes]

He even gave me his login details, the domain is not there in the account, nor are there any logs of it being transfered. Tomorow I'll call em and see what's going on. If that fails I'll directly call eNom, and ask them.

Contact NameCheap support.

 

[Dudesy]

It is not at Namecheap.

 

[Coolalex]

LOL , this is starting to get real confusing!

 

[RJ]

Whois confirms the name is with NameCheap.

I'll contact their support and see if they can help.

I think there's a bug...

I tried to enter "devildogs-clan.com" under the "I KNOW THE DOMAIN I OWN ..." field, but it said "Sorry! The Domain name you entered does not exists. Please try again."

Also, it states that the domain is expired on the eNom whois server...

 

[mis_chiff]

I never got the expired info - shows it's still going...

also shows at namecheap....

eNom always renews domains by one year automatically when they expire.
If they are not renewed or sold via eNom auctions, they cancel the renewal.

It's becoming obviously clear that you failed to renew the domain, and that's why the domain is not appearing in your NameCheap account, and the system is not even recognizing that the domain exists. That's exactly why the eNom WHOIS server is stating the domain is expired.

The parking page that you can view on devildogs-clan.com is the one eNom used for expired domains.
