Theft Report:
"Domains were listed for sale in my signature link at Digital Point forums, I was contacted by a member named "pterodactil". After negotiating the total price, he then made payment for all the domains with paypal. I proceeded to push the domains to his email address "thepterodactil@yahoo.com". He then charged back for the transaction. After I noticed that he had invalid whois information listed on the domains, I contacted godaddy to let them know to see if they could possibly lock the domains to prevent him from selling them. All they did was tell me that if I thought the whois information was incorrect, that I show proof. It seems like the scammer got away with it with the good help of godaddy."

Domain theft is a growing problem in the Internet community. Whether you are a professional domain investor, or an individual who has purchased a few domain names for yourself, domain theft could affect you and your digital assets. There are a number of ways that domain names can be stolen. A common way for thieves to steal a name is by hacking-into your email account and requesting a transfer to their registrar. Should this happen to you there is very little your registrar can do to get the domain name back. Unless your domain name is worth tens of thousands of dollars or more, legal recourse can be expensive and oftentimes not worth the money. Domain thieves know this and use it to their advantage.

There are an increasing number of domain thieves that purchase a domain name legitimately through a domain forum or listing service only to chargeback their payment and keep your domain name. In this case it can also be very complex to prove that you are the rightful owner. This can lead to the loss of a domain name as well as the monthly revenue that comes with it.

As a buyer, domain theft can also be an issue. If you buy a domain name that was recently stolen you may find-out that the real owner wants their domain name back and is not willing to pay for it. If you just spent thousands of dollars on a domain name the last thing you want is to fight an expensive legal battle with the true owner of the domain.

We created DomainTheft.org as a place where domain name owners can report domain theft and where potential buyers can check to make sure that the domain name they are buying is not stolen. On this page we have listed the most recently reported domain thefts as well as known scammers on some of the popular domain name forums such as DNForum and NamePros.

Please fill-out the form below to report a domain name as stolen. We verify all domain thefts before reporting them on the website so you should expect to be contacted by us to verify your report. In many cases we will require a telephone call in which we will record a sample of your voice. This will be used for identification purposes so we can verify if we are contacted by two different individuals about the same domain name.

You can expect to hear back from us within 5-7 business days from the completion of your report.
