    domain hijacked - need lawyer

    Hi!

    One of our domain names has been transfered from opensrs to enom without our authorization and I need someone to help us to reverse this transfer. We already contacted opensrs and enom, but they are rather slow working on this and we are getting tired of waiting.

    Any recommendations? Any help available?

    Contact me at [email protected]

    Thx

      Why should I talk to NSI ? The registrars involved are opensrs and enom.

        call Enom. Hard to get anything from them by email, but they're helpful on the phone.

          We already called all parties involved, but it looks as if everything is moving rather slowly, so we would like to prefer some help from a professional.

            I'd suggest using a local attorney (your regular attorney if you have one) and just educate them on the relevant issues. I think hijackings are rare enough that no attorney has significant expertise in the matter. In all likelihood, this isn't going to go to court, you just need an attorney to send scary letters to the registrars to inspire faster resolution.

              We do not have a local attorney in the states as of now (we are based in the Netherlands), that's why I am looking for one right now.

                        I had the same thing happen to tentpants.com with opensrs.

                        I'll never register anything through them again

                                  by the way here's a few highlights of the deal.

                                  1, registered tentpants.com through adulthosting.com with a 59.00 doallar a month virtual hosting package.

                                  2, first month seemed okay but I was still setting up things so its hard to judge.

                                  3, second month shot about 200k a day of traffic through the site.

                                  4, third month 3 out of the four weeks my site was down. No reply to emails or icq's or anything I even called them in the NL but got only a recording/answering machine.

                                  5, cancelled my account due to complete lack of service. they kept charging my credit card anyway for three months.

                                  6, t-1's were installed and dell server set to full throttle across both.

                                  7, went to transfer tentpants.com to the new t-1's and all hell broke loose. password to opensrs was wrong. Tentpants.com was directed at some adult site I have never seen before or since. adulthosting was still not responding to my repeated requests for the password to open srs.

                                  8, contacted open srs about the situatuion and got the brush off. contacted them again on the phone and after wading through a few highschool flunkies, I finally had a reasonable adult on the line. he said he had to give adulthosting one more chance. I said okay but in three days I'm going to file a complaint.

                                  9, The next day I got a proper login for open srs and quickly transfered my domain to netsol.com.

                                          with a GFY name like gooddomains I'd think you know that you can lock domains to keep that from happening.

                                            i would be pissed to hell if someone did that, what registar allowed the transfer to happen? i know it went to opensrs but who did u have it with previously?

                                              That happened to one of the biggest MGP's around. Someone stole her domain and the girl lost all her traffic coz it got switched to some shitty page.

                                              Had to start from scratch. Assholes!

                                                Why wasn't your domain LOCKED?

                                                            Yes My appologies

                                                            it was adulthost.com


                                                            if I were adulthosting .com i would sue them. their name and bad rep is confusing between the two.

                                                                1, registered tentpants.com through adulthosting.com with a 59.00 doallar a month virtual hosting package.

                                                                2, first month seemed okay but I was still setting up things so its hard to judge.

                                                                3, second month shot about 200k a day of traffic through the site.

                                                                4, third month 3 out of the four weeks my site was down. No reply to emails or icq's or anything I even called them in the NL but got only a recording/answering machine.

                                                                5, cancelled my account due to complete lack of service. they kept charging my credit card anyway for three months.

                                                                6, t-1's were installed and dell server set to full throttle across both.

                                                                7, went to transfer tentpants.com to the new t-1's and all hell broke loose. password to opensrs was wrong. Tentpants.com was directed at some adult site I have never seen before or since. adulthosting was still not responding to my repeated requests for the password to open srs.

                                                                8, contacted open srs about the situatuion and got the brush off. contacted them again on the phone and after wading through a few highschool flunkies, I finally had a reasonable adult on the line. he said he had to give adulthosting one more chance. I said okay but in three days I'm going to file a complaint.

                                                                9, The next day I got a proper login for open srs and quickly transfered my domain to netsol.com.

                                                                case closed

They are doing this for at least 4 years now and have a huge record of ripped of customers as well as companies they have stolen adult designs and content from.

                                                                          I ended up having to hijack my own fucking domain and gained control.
