It's obvious that the whois details were changed to something completely bogus - even Moniker should be able to see that

just checked a few of the domains looks like the last update was december 22 2012 - someone has hacked your account - have you called moniker.com? -that would be the first point of call

8x0.com is still at moniker.com under the whois that RazorNF posted above.

Call moniker and they can investigate further

According to OP, he did; they refused.

Wasn't Moniker's motto at one point that they have never lost a domain?

In any case, regardless of where the fault lies in how the account was accessed, they should try to be more helpful in getting the domains to the rightful owner. And it doesn't take a lawyer to tell you a legit owner wouldn't have that kind of registrant data in the the whois.

I think the OP needs somebody who can explain Moniker in proper English what happened.
Apparently the account was hijacked. But I have to say the domains in question are low-quality unless I'm missing something. So I don't think they justify retaining the services of a lawyer.
Normally domain thieves go after better domains. In this case it seems like the thief has no interest in the domains, he just wants to destroy your portfolio for the sake of it.

I agree with sdsinc in everything she has said above. Does anyone want to help this guy out by talking with Moniker on his behalf. If they will accept the concept of talking to a third party. Anyone who might be a US Lawyer, maybe?

It used to be, but I don't think they claim that anymore. It just goes to show that even the the best security and domains can still be stolen.

I think the OP has done everything right, except for maybe sweeping his computer for trojans/keyloggers, and in the extreme, changed his computer completely for a know clean install. He contacted a lawyer, contacted Moniker, provided copies of his passport etc, contacted ICANN. Who got things moving and Moniker gave him the auth codes. But they are no good if you don't have possession of the control panel to unlock the domains. The transfers will be refused. Personally, I think he should go back to ICANN and explain to them that the Auth Codes are no good at Moniker because he doesn't have access to the control panel (because his account was stolen with the domains in it) to unlock the domains. And ask ICANN to get new valid Auth Codes and to tell Moniker to unlock the domains for transfer. They might not do it. But it's worth a try.

I think Moniker are completely out-of-order refusing to speak to any lawyer, unless they reside in the USA. C'mon, they have international clients for F's sake. Which taken to the extreme means they won't even talk to a British solicitor. That's crazy, in the extreme.

I think the OP should also go back to Moniker and ask them for the account holders name and address, since there is obviously fake info in the whois records. And because he want's to sue the robber who stole his account. They might not give it, but it keeps the issue fresh in their minds (so they don't forget you are still on their case).

I think B8B.COM isn't too bad, but the rest aren't really worth worrying about, whatever they cost the OP.

Exactly!

I posted an earlier report to the ICANN they sending moniker and received a letter from moniker include authcodes for all my Domains

And when I try to transport moniker does not agree to transport and they changed data to the current phantom data

Now i send an ICANN and told me that he should write to the technical support for moniker

Note that support the moniker does not answer, but this phrase (we can not help you) only

Can you help me write a good report to the ICANN ؟

I think Moniker's changing position on lawyers is also worrying. First they say we will only speak to a lawyer and later they changed that to we will only speak with an American lawyer. They are being particularly difficult with one of their own customers. "We can't help you" isn't very helpful when you are speaking to one of your own customers. I wonder what Monte Cahn would think about this about that level of customer service.

I think the only way this will be resolved in the OP's favor is for him to do what Moniker asks and for him to appoint an American lawyer to pursue Moniker. But I think personally he'll be throwing good money after bad money, because I think he has already overpaid for these domains. The cheapest route would be to walk away and place backorders when they expire for the domains he really wants to keep at NameJet/BackorderZone. Maybe it hurts, but if there are bids on SnapNames he should also bid there (but not before opening another account at both Moniker and SnapNames and letting SnapNames know his Moniker account to be associated with his new SnapNames account). But if he's got money to burn he has the option to pursue Moniker thru legal channels, and I think he would win (provided he's telling us the whole truth here). I doubt he has money to burn though.

I only use Moniker nowadays for my SnapNames wins and they get transferred out as soon as possible. I think this company is in decline, which is the reason why I don't use them. It's been in decline since Monte sold out and left. By decline I mean in terms of standards not economics. But this story leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. The OP isn't blameless also. But he is trying to recover domains that belong to him. I could never recommend Moniker as a registrar.

I think thats you right? (in some of your posts b8b.com, dreamscafe.com, etc. are mentioned and also same name "Mazen")

Your account was suspended here at namepros last year ( i guess because of non paying when i look at your feedback). Admin/Mods should know better.

Doesn't necessarily mean anything about this case, but this doesn't make you look trustworthy either.

Non-payment should lead to a total ban, imho. Not a suspension.

I agree with you. As well as sellers who don't honor sales.

Members are actually not suspended for one negative TR.

There are plenty of new members walking the streets of NamePros brandishing a "-1" on their profile.

I'm embroiled in just such a case right now. I bought the domain at the asking price. Somebody PM'd a higher price. The seller accepted the higher price. What happens? No action against the buyer and a 30 day suspension against the seller. IMHO, they should both be banned forever. But that's just my opinion. Both the buyer and the seller have had negative feedback in the past. I think it's outrageous. Go f... any standards at NamePros.

I'm inclined to PM and overbid on sales since there is no penalty at all.

I was allowed to give the seller negative feedback. But it's little compensation Three feedback, two negative over the last 2 years, and this guy isn't banned for life?

 

[GiftedDomains]

I don't like this type of behaviour either.
Probably some kids with no idea how to behave as a "businessman".

I also made loss on several names, just to keep my word.
My word is my bond.
I even had one case where i had auctioned a name at ebay, the auction was about to end in 1 day. I received an offer via email with a much much higher price (apparently the guy didn't know anything about the ebay auction). I simply could have canceled the auction with a bogus reason (allowed at ebay). But i thought that would be very unfair towards the bidders who spent their time, watching, bidding, etc... just to find out that i canceled the auction. So i simply told the guy that the name is currently in ebay auction and he can bid and maybe make a great deal (way below the price he was ready to pay directly), and he did, and he won the auction for a much lower price than what he was ready to pay. Funnily he was so happy and satisfied that he simply sent me an additional $100 and told me that he respects such behaviour. Meanwhile he bought several names from me.
I think fairness pays off one way or another.

I guess that was lost somewhere - dupe accounts are not permitted - re-reported
