Limit.com/ Something not right

[gemstar]

JBChappell was the owner of Limit.com apparently he had passed away several years back and this domain was just a page showing a 404?.The domain kept renewing every year so it did not drop.
I contacted the hosting company and they also tried to inquirer about this domain as it was not in use for years as well as I had and I also contacted some people involved in his site from the wayback archive.

Well lo and behold! All of a sudden there is a registration of Chappellbrown.com (new) this month which is private with Netsol and The contact email is changed from [email protected] to [email protected]
Why would Chappellbrown reg a domain in his name if he passed away?
He was a Math tech and his site was dedicated to match and science.

Now the landing page is Netsol parking page.
Very suspicious indeed.

accusing someone with out hard evidence will get you sued.

What gives the OP the right to post someones full address and name on a public forum accused of hijacking?

MODS?

Unless you got hard evidence you are violating his rights......

 

[malcarada]

It sounds fishy, but HOPE is %100 right, show some substantial evidence not just circumstantial evidence, this is not right, you can't launch serious accusations like the ones you are launching without any REAL evidence, other than "maybe", "wrong time, wrong place",etc.

To top it up someone posts the owner name, what would happen if this is not a scam the domain goes on sale and a prospective buyer finds this thread? Not right, not right. How do you like being accused of thieving in a public forum without any evidence? (other than maybe)

Limit.com has STOLEN written all over it. Period.

Maybe you are right and the OP has psychic ability.

This type of cheap lame investigation goes no where and should not be started before you got the facts right. This is a thread about how this and that and this and that has played out.

As a community we need to take the right steps before we start pointing fingers.

The OP or anyone has no right to post someones home address and name on public forum until we know 100% sure that person is a scammer.

Er: Hope? You there? You can get that info on whois.. Did you know that?:wave:
And I said something is smelly. Nothing more

Koenig's ALL.COM domain name had been registered with domain name registrar Go Daddy, which I believe is headquartered in Arizona. However, in January 2008, an unknown person accessed and altered the registrant information for the ALL.COM domain name "through the use of some surreptitious means." By September 2008, the domain name had passed through several hands and was registered by a German domain name registrar to a Shavkat Rahimov, whose contact address was in the Seychelles.

I have researched this domain for years. I know something is not right. That is why I made this thread.:wave:

Regardless:
Who ever purchaced this domain is an accessory to a crime and needs to be notified.
I am also a private investigator.

Well my friend who gives a fig what you think at all, If you know so much about Chappell , what was his favourite ice-cream?

And why the hell are you writing from Canada and using a cheap Hotmail address ))

And why the hell would I take a $35 internet name in the first place that is not even connected with a business or his family?
You are a strange dude. You can write me back with his favorite Ice-cream but dont bug me or Ill call the cops.
Peace from Hancock UV!


$35 Domain???!!:o:o


I Called him out to provide proof he was his student.
This is his initial email to me
Dear Mr. XXX,

First thing is that "Chappell" is spelled with 2 L's.

Second is that it is really none of anybodies business but Chappell would not have wanted me to answer in this manner (and I keep getting these emails) since it was never his way, I have been a long time friend and student of Chappell and have been in control of this domain for over 7 years now (long time before his untimely passing) and since there was a chance of losing the domain since it was not paid for at VeriSign I had our university's Technical Administrator change the contact details to my own (should have done it long ago since we almost lost the registration) and renew the domain name.
It is in Parking mode now and will be used in a tribute page to Chappell .
Thank you for remembering Chappell, whoever you are.
Kind Regards
Shavkat

P.S. And by the way , just in case, since we have been getting these a lot , "The Domain Is NOT FOR SALE!

If this was Chappell's student , he must have been very worthy to be in control of this domain and highly trusted. Since Chappell was a phyisics, math professor, this guy is highly mute given his unsophisticated vocabulary.:bah:

 

[Bannen]

Just more lies

And why the hell would I take a $35 internet name

Note that he tries to make us think he's ignorant about domain names by saying it's only worth $35, and by calling it an 'internet name' instead of a domain name... and yet limit.com's nameservers are set to Sedo parking. Anyone who knows about Sedo enough to be signed up and have parked pages there, definitely knows about domain names. Also:

P.S. And by the way , just in case, since we have been getting these a lot , "The Domain Is NOT FOR SALE!

So he has been getting a lot of requests to buy the name (and probably some/most of those requests come with dollar amount offers) yet he says '$35 internet name'.

I have been a long time friend and student of Chappell

Whois is in the Seychelles, if he's a long time friend and student then he must have a good bit of cash to spend that much time in the US being a friend and student to Mr. Chappell.

and have been in control of this domain for over 7 years now (long time before his untimely passing) and since there was a chance of losing the domain since it was not paid for at VeriSign I had our university's Technical Administrator change the contact details to my own (should have done it long ago since we almost lost the registration) and renew the domain name.

That whole paragraph is a mix up of statements that contradict each other and don't make sense: this guy has been 'in control' of the domain for 7 years... and yet he says they actually had to change the contact details to his, in order to renew it? So what? If he's in control of the domain, doesn't matter whose the contact details are, he can renew it. And if he was in control of the domain, why would he need the university's 'technical administrator' to change the contact details? What the heck does the T A have to do with all this? As an interesting aside, he might give us the name of the university, provide the name of the T A, and we'll see if the T A can be contacted directly in an office there to back up any of these claims

Kind Regards
Shavkat

Shavkat's full name and address are identical to the person who ended up OWNING A KNOWN STOLEN NAME (all.com), so he has every motivation to try come up with stories to throw us off the track. But his stories are just full of contradictions and impossibilities and obvious, er, fibs.

His whole email just didn't make any sense. Thanks for the continued follow ups, Gem

I do not know what you are talking about. I have changed my email. Please do not hassle me again. Thank you.
Please leave me alone!

I am sending a copy to the police as I have said.

He actually sent a copy to the Hancock
New Hampshire PD! This guy is smug!Or stupid.
I told him go ahead! I sent them the emails too. :lol:

 

[Bannen]

Actually, I've been gently looking for Mr. Brown's next of kin, tried a couple phone numbers but no dice. Widow is either unlisted or moved to a different city.

Thing to do might be to contact the Hancock police, refer them to this thread, ask if they know the whereabouts of next of kin, to tell them that we suspect some very valuable cyber-property of Mr. Brown's has been hijacked from its rightful estate...

Gemstar, since you've already found the police' email addy, maybe you could also send a note to that effect? The police could certainly find the next of kin, and I think any family would like to know that part of their estate from the deceased includes a domain name worth in the xx,xxx to xxx,xxx range.

This way it'll come to the family's attention. And if, in the .00000000000001% chance, the new 'owner' DOES have a legal right to the name, at least it will be cleared up.

 

[matrigaldo]

Mmm reading that, my only idea is: "SCAM".
The domain looks to be stolen, or anyway acquired in a illegal / not honest way.
You haven't considered a possible solution: and what if the new owner has offered to the family some money for the domain? I mean, if your family, has been offered like $100 for an electronic property they just consider junk, what would happen?

But i think the domain has been stolen or illegally acquired.

Im sure "He is survived by his loving partner, "Gail Robinson"
She would have had knowledge of that domain being so close to him.
