Recently, I have had a very bad experience regarding domain name transfer. One of my domains which really meant a lot to me was robbed out of my hand and transferred to another panel by a transfer request email.

The whole story goes that, I had received an email requesting my domain's (www.WWWBAZAR.com) transfer to another panel. The email had allowed me 3 days to decide and in case that I did not click the "Do Not Transfer" link in that email in 3 days, my domain would be transferred automatically. Unfortunately, I had not checked my emails in those 3 days and the domain was transferred to Parava.net panel, without my contentment. I had registered the domain in Directi.com

For your information, my domain had not expired yet, and it is very important for my company to get this domain back. My company has this domain for two years and by this domain we have won the National Prize for Best E-commerce Website for two successive years. Furthermore, no information is posted from the registrar (who transferred my domain) in any of the Whois websites.

I would appreciate if you helped us to find out the best way in order to get back the domain.

Contact parava or directi directly and raise the issue with them. If I'm not wrong they can easily reverse the transfer with proper authentication.

Good Luck!

The transfer rules that changed last year allow a registrar to contest possibly fraudulent transfers with the registry. Just keep in mind that if you actually did get an email and clicked the link to approve it, there's a very good possibility it's lost.

Find the email that directi sent you upon first registering the domain name as it would/should have the creation date.

I agree with others contact both registars, many registrars have agreements with each other for this type of action

Lots of questions here:

1. Was your domain name account compromised with your current registrar?

2. Was your domain name's contact email address compromised?

3. Was the transfer authorized with the gaining registrar first?

Unfortunately it takes persistence (and a good attorney) to force the registrars to
do something. You just gotta push, push, and push some more.

I've yet to hear of any registrars avail of the Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy. It's
going to cost them money to use it, and charging less than $10/year gives them
little incentive.

Anyway, I don't mean to sound like I'm the bearer of bad news. But if the domain
name means a whole lot to you (and I'm sure it does), then you must exhaust any
and all means to get it back.

You've got to somehow prove you've never authorized the entire transfer in the
first place. Contact the new registrar where it's with so they can lock it up at the
very least, that'll prevent anything else from being done to it.

Then persist with the former registrar. Ask for a sup, a manager, whatever it will
take to get the ball rolling.

Good luck!

In the email I received, there was only one link just for disaproving the transfar and no other lonk for approving it, and as I indicated before, if I did not disapprove it for 3 days the sender supposed that I was content with the transfer. I wonder can it be referred to as a froudalent act (just being one link for disapproval)?

In addition, would you please comment on how I can access to the WHOIS of this person for who the domain has been transferred?

Lots of questions here:

1. Was your domain name account compromised with your current registrar? No It was not

2. Was your domain name's contact email address compromised? No It was not

3. Was the transfer authorized with the gaining registrar first? We received nothing from Directi concerning approval or disapproval of the transfer

Unfortunately it takes persistence (and a good attorney) to force the registrars to
do something. You just gotta push, push, and push some more. Can you also instruct me how and from where I can get a reliable issue for this?

Contact the new registrar where it's with so they can lock it up at the very least, that'll prevent anything else from being done to it. Now, we do not have the control and authority on the domain since it has been transferred. How can we have it locked?

Then persist with the former registrar. Ask for a sup, a manager, whatever it will

Good luck! Tank you for your great help!

on how I can access to the WHOIS of this person for who the domain has been transferred?

whois.sc
checkdomain.com are a few resources

whois.sc
checkdomain.com are a few resources

Domain name was posted in the original post (wwwbazar.com). The thing is that NO ONE whois server (even that of the gaining registrar's) is giving full whois details os this domain. You can try by yourself and see what I mean.

I don't have anything to say to OP. I've never been in a situation when there's practically NO whois for the domain.

You should URGENTLY contact your last registrar, the new registrar and do whatever it takes (and this could mean ALOT!) to get your domain back.

Good luck to you! You might need it.

You will be surprised to hear that this guy who has stolen my domain is just a street away from our company and now I can understand why there is no information from him in the WHOIS.

Just there is one problem left for me: Since there has been sent an email to for the cancellation of the transfer, and since I have not checked my email to cancel the transfer in that period, will I be able to prove him guilty in stealing my domain? Or are there any online associations where I can send my complaint for investigation? Or should I hire an attorney to solve this issue for us, and if I should how and from where I can hire one?

Thank you all, once more, for your great support!

Speak with the guy himself;
If not successfull, visit him with baseball bat;
If still not successfull, hire a professional baseball player;
If still no luck, hire the lawyer.


:rofl:

As a serious note, you must listen to him first. And ONLY THEN either hire the lawyer or not.

No, I can't be a great help telling you where you can hire the lawyer in Iran. Most probably your local business directory (aka Yellow pages) could help you here.

Best of luck!

P.S. You said you understood WHY whois for this domain wasn't showing the owner. Care to share with us - why? Thank you!!!

Thank you all for your good support. The information you gave me as below was really helpful for me:


glad to be of help

the gaining registrar should sent you an email to approve the link

also its possible that the hijacker sent them a fax and did manual transfer.


you SHOULD ALWAYS ALWAYS have your domain locked to avoid this kind of problems...
