About 3 months ago this same guy tried to steal my domains along with 2 of my TGPs.

One of the email addresses he used was [email protected] . . .

If not for DirectNic and some luck the guy would own all my stuff today. GoDaddy did NOTHING to help me and in fact took steps to protect the customer who tried to steal the domains. I also was told that I needed a court order.

This guy got me by hijacking a yahoo email account, he used that to get access to my ICQ number and after he blocked me out of both he transferred my domains away from DirectNic to GoDaddy.

He then posed as me and contacted 2 hosting companies via email and requested ssh and db info for my servers claiming he had a HD failure.

I emailed him and asked what he wanted and he said he would give me back what he stole if I gave him one of the sites he was trying to steal - a 100k TGP.

It took me a few weeks, all my sites were down for 10 days, I started over at close to zero and lost at least a whole week of my time but I was finally able to get the email account, ICQ account and 1 stolen domain back.

This asshole and GoDaddy
