That's called stealing domains.....unlikely to happen from a legit registrar (esp. with the name currently on hold).

http://www.enom.com/domains/whois.as...0&su bmit.y=0

shows it on registrar hold at the moment. Doing a "dig" shows that it's out of the zone file, and not resolving anymore (for some folks, though, it might have cached DNS results for a few more hours/days).

flashbang and slavdogg are probably right, that someone made a WHOIS complaint about the domain, perhaps using the form at:

http://wdprs.internic.net/

Nice way to shut down competitors using bad WHOIS...

Best solution might be to login to your control panel, fix the WHOIS, and then call them in the morning. Then, once it's back in action, move it to a preferred registrar. The name needs to be renewed in a couple of weeks, too.

By the way, it's not wise to make the Admin email for a domain name be from that same domain (e.g. [email protected] for the turbodomain.com domain). Now that the name is on hold, your email is down too, so this means you can have a heck of a time transferring the name, authenticating ownership, etc. since you no longer control the admin email (i.e. it's a black hole at present).
