Title: Scammed by domain buying
Post by: FruitsBasket on November 16, 2015, 08:18:00 AM
What happened:I bought a domain name of him:"bitcoinunlimited.com". Before I bought, I asked through PM how long till the domain would expire, he told me look at wois. So I go to whois and see that it is valid till 26 september 2016(i will post screenshots as proof) then I pay him and he transfers the domain. Then I get a popup saying that my domain expires in three days. I think this was a kind of scam because he said look at whois, he also could have said it ends in three days, then I wouldn't buy it because renew cost 18€

Seem a nice domain by the way. You can just renew it anyway. maybe try to get coupon code for the discount of the registrar.

You mean this thread right?

I see he posted he sells bitcoinunlimted.com (note the missing i). Did he mention bitcoinunlimited at any time? Did you mean to buy the non-typo version?
