This is GD Control panel - Fake Domain name (Photoshop)

This is NOT GD Control panel - Fake - Not so good. Try again

I am the most well liked person on NamePros! Lol
You people kill me

What if someone does that to your valuable name with zero involvement on your part? Person A tries to scam using it, person B states that the domain is a scam?

There is a surge in people opening new accounts, then posting category killer domains.

Deliver.com for $30K was the scam of the day, the owner was all over it, and called it a scam from the start.

Can namepros restrict anyone from posting any domains for sale, until they have a feedback rating of 1, or 1 like, or something? With crypto currencies in play with no recourse, some newbie is going to get burned bad sooner, or later.

good idea... especially with the laws in place where we can't comment on sales threads.. go figure.. you post to warn others of a scam, and instead of scammer getting banned yuo get banned first for breaking some rule lol

yes i know .. clikc the report button.. blabla.. but sometimes moderators take many hours to react.. like you say could be enough time for a newbie to post sold at bin... pay for the whole damn thing and get screwed.

cheers

Yea, I got a warning for making comments on that page, indicating it was a scam, things move so quick, it is so easy for someone to get sucked into a deal, especially when these scammers can easily take a pic, and mimic a username to reflect real life details of the owners. In a matter of minutes someone can be sucked out of thousands, could ruin a marriage, can ruin their life, big consequences for a newbie thinking they are making a big step in domaining.

but at least the domain owner was greatful for getting tipped off there was someone attempting to do shady things with their domain..


I am very grateful for your vigilance and for taking the time to notify me.
It’s always nice to be reminded there are still some good guys around.
