Looks like I might have ran into fraud for the first time on this forum :(. I sold TemplatePackage.com to a silver member last night and then I get this in my email box this morning. I contacted the one who "bought" the domain from me and I am waiting to hear from them. Any ideas on what to do if I am not payed correctly and I don't get the name back? Here is most of the email from PayPal:

"It has come to our attention that you may be the recipient of potentially
fraudulent funds. We have initiated an investigation into this event. In
the meantime, we have placed a pending reversal on the funds in question
until the investigation is complete. This pending reversal will show as a
deduction in your available balance. In the meantime, you are free to
continue transacting using your PayPal account.


Transaction Date: Jul. 12, 2004 02:06:20 PDT

Transaction Amount: $35.00 USD

Payor's Email: will not display yet

If you have not delivered the goods or services related to this
transaction, we ask that you delay or stop delivery until our investigation
is complete as you may be liable for the amount in question.

To assist us in our investigation and to determine if you qualify for the
Seller Protection Program, please send an email to
[email protected] with the following information:

1. The item, service or purpose of the purchase, and the associated value;
2. The name and address given to you by the sender (if an item was
purchased);
3. If shipped, the company used for shipping, date of shipment, and
tracking number for the shipment;
4. Details of any other transactions related to the transaction(s) in
question;
5. A phone number where you can be reached during the day and evening; and
6. Insurance information, if applicable.

Any additional information you have regarding this transaction, such as
email correspondence, will further help us to expedite our investigation.
Solving these cases helps us continue to offer PayPal as a secure and
cost-effective payment service. We appreciate your cooperation and
assistance.

Sincerely,
PayPal Account Review Team"

I will PM you the name in the event they are innocent. Will give them time to respond and return my domain if proper payment is not given.

Contact the Registrar and send them a copy of the Paypal email - they might help.

Well the person just put "domain payments" in the subject so I doubt that is possible.

This might be a stretch, but I just noticed that the Dotster account I pushed it into was rock6291. Wasnt there a well known scammer known as rock?

I remember an appraisal "scam" with the name "rock" but cannot recall a fraudster with that name.

I appreciate the quick action in getting karlamich9 banned so nobody else gets hit by this mess.

I tried Dotster anyway and I emailed (had just sent a PM) this person with the slim hope I will get the domain back that way. I am just surprised they didnt go for a more expensive name.

Ogre,

Not sure if this applies here, but I had a similar situation. It turned out that Paypal was just quick on disqualifying a legitimate charge on a credit card. Have you been able to contact the buyer? My buyer used a different credit card and the payment then went through.

No word from them yet :-(.

I dont think it will be like your case since I was not the only one this person tried this mess on.

Ogre,

Same thing happened to me, although it was a $1100 transaction (different person though). I am working to get the name back, but the site lost much of its value because it was offline for 2 months. I emailed Paypal and they said I might get the money back, they were going to contact the credit card company and let me know within 75 days if they could get the money back to my account - I doubt it will happen though.

Good luck

Took a little while because Dotster wanted proof of ownership but I got the name back :).
