I've now no doubt, Eric16 is the real person who scammed us so I can now disclose the whole story here.
He's cooperating with a guy having
matt@aol.com as AIM (stolen account of course). He steals AOL accounts to resell them as good screennames, he can steal any domain registered under an @Aol.com account so don't use such emails in your whois or important staff, ever !
Nobody will stop his activity, he's now online on AIM (online since several days, fulltime connected), he proposed me to buy sold.net, shadow.net and other domains I can't recall to my mind now, any domain use diff. registrant data but all the admin emails are on @aol.com ... Obviously, to avoid any possible suspect, he doesn't change the original registrant data and he pushes the domain to the victim accounts probably directly from the original acct so these registrants have no way to stop him until he'll not have sold and pushed away their domains.
Now my question is: how nobody investigates about him and how can he continues to go ahead with such fraudolent activity and staying connected online fulltime with no intervention/investigation from AOL/FBI or any other competent authority ? This's not justice !

The story in brief: on 16-Oct a guy came in our chat at DnEmpire.com proposing us to buy these names at USD 1,000 in bulk ... I suspected they might have been stolen, I checked whois updated last time on April 2010 so I believed to his good faith without thinking (stupidly) to email to their admin contact. He pushed the names before getting the payment so I had no reason to suspect a fraud until Dotster took them back the day after.
Names were:
dyu.net
dyu.org
nolemons.com
quy.net
qyu.net
ruy.org
shj.net
tattle.net
tuy.net
we-deal.com
wyu.org
yrw.net
yyu.org
zyu.net
The first problem is I changed whois once received, I've contacted Dotster explaining the situation but they didn't change whois back so far, we're now risking to be accused to have stolen (or tried to steal them) in a next future, we'll contact them again to impose an immediate whois change.
I opened a dispute at paypal and immediately after I got an email coming from Eric16 (the scammer) but I didn't close it yet and now I'll ask to paypal to verify his identity so, even if I'll not get my money back, he'll never get it as well.

I am sorry, I am very sick to my stomach that my friend is scammer.. I got these from my friend. I didn't know that these domains were stolen. I will refund $ back to you since I don't want to be labeled scammer.. I hate scammers along like you. I will take care of this asap and I will have a talk with these people I dealt with. I am going to cut them off.
You know I put my pic on dnforum and namepros and i give out my info so that way they can see Im legitmate. I will fully refund 1,000 back to you and Im very very very sorry about that... Scammers is ZERO TOLERANCE for me. Im very upset right now. I am in shock that I thought I trusted these people but I guess not.

I waited for 8 days for a refund but he never got back to me until now.
Now I can publicly affirm with no possible doubt that Eric16 is a scammer, stay away from him.
