P.S. I actually used to work with a guy years ago who had "RainDrops" as his nickname. I was young and new there so I never asked why.
I have a gift when it comes to meme's!yea i laughed hard when i saw your post
Right thing to do, man. Congrats and good luck getting to the bottom of it.
A noble move from you.refund issued to chetan. Now hopefully the scammer "Jack" is discovered and gets banned from every auction platform so noone has to go through him. and also move out all your domains from NetworkSolutions is my advice as you see what can happen.
Also apologies to Chetan for calling him the scammer and hopefully he can do the same as im not a scammer either and we can find the real culprit in this one which looks like "Jack"
If you want us to discuss your "gifted" status I can start a new thread.I have a gift when it comes to meme's!

I've learn 2 things in 2013.
1.Stay away from NetworkSolutions (even for free and cheap domains!)
2.Stay away from 1and1 (even for free and cheap hosting and domains!)
Total loss of $250
But you can find worst stories on google
do you mind sharing what happened with NS?
Yes, please do!If you want us to discuss your "gifted" status I can start a new thread.

Theres four businesses you should be phoning.
Your credit card company to see where you stand disputing your transaction on flippa (get it going asap)
Flippa to find out what they know/can help you with
Network Solutions, emailing them seems to be getting pro forma responses, phone them.
NameJet or wherever it was bought from or went back to - the last the end buyer may be best off calling as he may be able to be told why they have his name.
I'd probably do it in that order, starting with looking at getting money back.
Your bank. Visa does not handle these things themselves.do you know if i should call my bank or the actual company visa?
It depends whether it's a debit card or credit card. If it's a credit card, you call the issuing card company, e.g. Capital One, etc.do you know if i should call my bank or the actual company visa?

its a visa credit card. so i call bank ?
Call whoever is branded on the card, there may even be a phone number on the card to call!
My 2c is, how the hell didn't you run and run fast after that conversation on flippa? Everything I read would make me run away!
I hope the fact you were handed the account doesn't hurt you as you attempt to clear it up, I mean any normal person would push the domain. That may make you look complicit, which I don't believe you deliberately were.
Theres an old saying, if it looks too good to be true it probably is!
i immediately transferred the name to my NS account after he gave me his account so i think that part should be okay
I agree, though I will add that in kind of an "old school" way, handing over a user account isn't completely unheard of if there's only a single domain associated with it. This was suggested to me recently in a domain trade where I was the seller, though the thought of it did kind of freak me out and I opted against it. Especially since almost always there is/was financial information linked to it.My 2c is, how the hell didn't you run and run fast after that conversation on flippa?

100% agreeThats not what I'm saying, you were in possession of an account that was possibly used to defraud. Even though you had it afterwards, may make it harder to explain to NS and the auctioneers.
If you could have pushed it so easily they will say so should have the other guy, again not saying you were involved in that part, just saying they may hold it partially against you.
