Title: Anyone ever had someone else register domains under your name w/o permissions? Post by: DeathAndTaxes on May 07, 2012, 12:48:28 PM http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/retweetforcoins.com
The contact data isn't shown here because it is in privacy lock but the registrar just contacted me (automated) and provided registration details and it has my name, address, email, phone for contact. ??? Same for: retweetforcoins.com tweetforcoins.com retweet4bitcoin.com twitterbitcoin.com and a dozen more. Thought I would post here as the real owner may be a bitcointalk user. Should I be worried? Or should the real owner be worried? I guess if I was malicious I could use the registration information to seize control of the domains.

Probably a squatter looking to cash in on the FeedZeBirds popularity. I'd say grab them and give them to the FZB people.

Or like a planted gun... or self planted gun maybe? Title: Re: Anyone ever had someone else register domains under your name w/o permissions? Post by: hamdi on May 07, 2012, 03:06:15 PM i once sold a domain and the new owner didnīt change the whois to his name.
after some years i got a lot of bills for non-payment. Title: Re: Anyone ever had someone else register domains under your name w/o permissions? Post by: edd on May 07, 2012, 03:12:56 PM I'd be worried if your contact info wasn't publicly available. If it was, I'd still be concerned as to why someone wouldn't want their own name associated with the domains and what I might be in for by passively accepting some responsibility for them.

Who has,
Culprits,

Post by: DeathAndTaxes on May 07, 2012, 05:19:29 PM I contacted the registrar I am hoping it simply is a "glitch" on their backend where they mixed up accounts and applied my contact info to another user's domains.
But yeah strange and troubling. Title: Re: Anyone ever had someone else register domains under your name w/o permissions? Post by: check_status on May 07, 2012, 05:22:07 PM Ask the registrar for the registering IP address and payment details.

Or multiple personality disorder? Sounds crazy but you never know, how well do you know yourself? Have you been visiting Silk Road recently? |
