Strange Thing Just Happnd On Way To...

While doing searches on terms related to some of my DNs I landed on a site advertising jocktv.com, a name I own. The search went Google jocktv (did you mean jock tv)>www.ca2z where it was listed as "Domain Name Addresses For Sale" w/ following:
Shown below are generic, descriptive, domain names which are for sale. If you are interested in purchasing any of the following addresses, please feel free to send an e-mail to the link at the bottom of this page. These names draw excellent attention in search engines. Type the words contained in these names into your favorite search engine and check the results.
Follow the Afternic link to see if any of these names are up for auction.
Followed link>http://members.afternic.com/oceandrive?showcase
Where I was unauthorized to view pg.

Although I am gratified that someone liked my name enough to advertise it, am somewhat concerned because I have had no communication whatsoever with either afternic or www.ca2z. Anyone ever run across this before? There's a email link to ca2z and suppose I should contact to find out wazzup, but, if possible, wanted to get a little background as to what's going on 1st.:tri:

Perhaps the prior owner had it listed. :o
When did you register/acquire it, Grrilla?
Thanks.

Could also be a trick. It costs nothing to list a whole bunch of interesting names. If someone contacts you about it, then you can buy it at a 'reseller price' then turn around and sell it at an 'end-user' price.

quite devious, actually.

I agree with Apollo, exactly what is on my mind too!!

Probably it is the previous owner listed the domain.

I have acquire many expired domains, some already listed in Sedo, i have to request Sedo to remove them from the previous owner so i can add to my account.

I picked up jocktv via open market and not as an expired domain. I can't find link to site where I recall that previous history (ie owner/s) of a name could be traced. Anyone know?. I kind of lean towards scam or an extreme case of pro-active marketing w/ a built in target should anyone want the name. LOL Seems 2B a new angle popping up daily.
