how do you tell if a domain name is stolen? (urgent)

[oberheimer]

I got a really good deal on a domain name and need to check if it's stolen before i buy it. List all things i should check to be 100% sure that it's not stolen

Ask the police.

Do the purchase thru www.escrow.com ...will give you a buffer. You can also check previous whois info from www.whois.sc ... this way you can check who got it before and maybe contact them. Good luck

thanks braincash i looked on whois.sc and yes i need to contact the previous owner

Posting the domain would be a good idea. I have seen several attempts to sell stolen domains in the the past 3 weeks.

If you want you can email it to me [email protected] and I will check some of the boards and see if it rings a bell.

Buy it true escrow.com and post the domain here we might have some more info
