Name appearing in my eNom account

[monnyd]

Alright this is way weird. I logged into enom and now have a domain in my account that >>I<< never registered. I checked the WHOIS information on it and it's in my name and looks like it was registered in October. I didn't even have an eNom account in October!!

The domain is sendyna.org

What am I supposed to do with it? Is there a lost and found for domains? What if it was used in a crime or something? Can I get in trouble?

:notme:

I have had (twice) names pushed to my account by mistake., maybe call enom and see if someone pushed this to you

No way to get into trouble - other than if you try to take the domain

It's a common thing and due to humen error. It's mentioned a few times elsewhere, mostly by people who push a domain to the incorect account. Give it a few days, the owner may contact you - else just contact support.

If a domain was used for spamming recently, there's the possibility your contact could be used for spam complaints. And if the domain is in violation of trademarks or hijacked then a UDRP case could be brought against you as the domain holder.

But those are worst case scenarios and from the sounds of it not very likely. Like dd and dc said above, it's a common mistake. Just wait for someone to contact you, or contact eNom and let them know.

thanks for the advice. No one has claimed the domain yet and I still have it in my account. Too bad its such a lousy name. The .com isn't even registered yet! hehe.

i think I will just create thousands of resellers to pick up mis-pushed domains maybe someone will push sex.com... oops?

glad to see your honest about it. I think most people would keep it, like a dollar found on the street.
