I'm sorry if this comes off the wrong way but alot of this could have been avoided. You have someone that seems psycho, perverted, you have no clue who he is or how he found you and you are selling names for him without any type of protection for yourself (commission or real life(giving out personal info).

I would strongly advise in the future do your homework before opening yourself up like that. You aren't getting your money but its a lesson learned.

I completely understand where you are coming from and it's a great lesson that I learned from this guy. I just needed to get it off my chest and talk about it. Sorry

Btw you said you have no info but dont you have to have some type of payment info to give those who are buying his domains?

How did those who bought pay him?

Wire? Paypal? Both would give some kind of info on him.

Do a who is on his domains.


And the earlier post wasn't really meant to be harsh but the person you are describing should have given you a million red flags on why you should walk away and simply mark his emails as spam.

Wow the more I talk this through, the more idiotic I am starting to feel. He gave me his paypal. He told me that it would look more believable to have my name in the administrative section since i was the one contacting all the users etc..
I have social issues of trying to please and do everything I can to ensure that everyone is happy. I think it ties into my roman catholic upbringing. I haven't always been the best judge of character & I just want to please super hard so that I can strive in my business.

Ok, Bonnie :D

Heh..

What? They work. Quite well.

Yes they work amazingly well.

:) That is not a "social issue". I am the same way. But you have to realize that not everyone is going to return what you give. Some people have the worst of intentions and will either take advantage of you or use you until nothing is left. These people are easy to spot, the more you stop being so nice to please everyone.

Especially in business...especially the domain business. People can be down right cold, nasty and self serving and still appear nice.

i am super happy that I held off getting that therapist for this incident :) I had this therapist on my people to call on Monday list.

I need to revise how I deal with people and my business interactions. Acro sent me a message and made things so much more clear..

It doesn't hurt asking for advice from the domain community. We've all had to deal with incidents of that sort or another, at some point. People that'd stiff people on a business and personal level are bound to repeat it. They are socially trained to act with disregard of other human beings.

It's nice to be able to gain all the insight within this situation. I have been extremely blessed that so many people were willing to give me the feedback I needed to hear. Especially you Pink, it was very helpful.

Something I have learned from this ordeal, is there are a lot of people who'll bully you into what they want you to do but at the end of the day, you have to be just as tough and stand your ground. I had followed my gut not to do certain things and I ended up getting railroaded. I am now from this moment on, going to focus on making sure that my needs are met as well. I may look selfish and uncaring but as my guy friend stated, it's just business. I need to look at this from a business aspect not one of my personal.

I followed Pink's advice but I know that I am late in doing my research on this dude, but the number and such come up different than the name I am dealing with. While I will happily email individuals who are seeking to know who it is, I'll send you a pm and the name he gave me and such.

i need to just pick myself up and move on, quit feeling sorry that I was duped. Thank you all for your support in me.

P.S Onward, one word, keywords, city names and some lottery names. I went straight to the board, got a wee bit lucky. I love talking on the phone despite my lisp, so I think the people might feel sorry, so they buy to support the mongoloid, HAHA! 9had to get my humor in there to lighten it up)

Ok hold the phones a second and clear this up.

1)He still had to have his info prior to yours. no ?
2)You should never do this, could be he has stolen them and using you. Did you confirm ownership of each name you did this switch for?

Personally I feel for you but share the name(s) or his email. Otherwise the support we give you and concern is not going both ways. You can spare others from dealing with him.

I agree I think you should post the names that you brokered.

So what are they?

Please send me all the info you have on this guy...including - Domain Names (you brokered & did not sell), Forum user names (on ds or where ever else), email addresses (very important)...names and/or alias'. I am an investigator and should be able to get to the bottom of this if you want me to.

Kohgiluyeh.com This one still has my information tacked on it, I have asked him to remove it but it has yet to be done. I just saw that he put my skype out there which now explains the weird calls I have been getting on my skype.

Onward, pm on your way

Forget the new regs, show a name you sold or has history.
