While domainstate.com makes every effort to ensure the names offered for sale by owners or brokers are kosher, members must be aware that domains may not always be the rightful property of the seller.

Domains have been stolen before and most likely will be stolen again and offered for sale either on this site or other venues.

It is therefore important for members to thoroughly check ownership before paying for any domain either bought off this site or elsewhere.

Perhaps we could have a 'database' of domains that we know are stolen, so members could check in case they were offered it?

that is the role of the warning forum - and there are many posts in there relating to stolen domains.

Yep - I was only thinking perhaps some kind of 'table' or a page with just a list of domains on might be useful to some people.

With this thread and a warning forum, it should be ok. Actually, I myself have avoided a trap by using the warning forum info. . thanks.

Thanks for reminding.

thanks for let me know about this.

How is it possible to steal a domain name without a transfer by the Registrar?

There are lots of ways domains get stolen:

Social engineering (calling up registrars and pretending to be the domain owner) to get the email address changed

Hacking/phishing the admin email account

Registering an expired domain that is still used as the admin contact on the target domain

Registering an expired domain that is still used as the dns on the target domain that also itself as the admin contact email address

once the thief has the admin email account many registrars will provide everything they need to transfer that domain out to a different registrar from which they can sell the stolen domain on.

I would like you to delete my post with the title:very cheap domains sale.Thank you.

that's done - but what on earth led you to believe that posting the request to this thread was the best way to accomplish it?
