Hello,


About two years ago I had sold a domain as well as other services to someone who payed for it with a check from a bank account that was closed. This is fraud so I took the domain back. Now the originaly owner of the domain is looking to sue for the domain back. I am pretty sure that because he never paid for it, the domain should not be his.

I just want to see if anyone else has any experiance with this and with what the ICANN rules are.


Thank you,


Joel

He committed fraud so I dont see how he can take legal action without incrimminating himself.

ICANN only setup the UDRP for transfer, deny, or cancellation of the domain name.
It doesn't give monetary compensation.

Assuming you've kept "evidence" of this all this time, get a lawyer. This is a civil
dispute.

Just ask for evidence that he ever purchased and paid for the domain.

Its not his... he didnt pay.

Isn't bouncing checks a serious crime in the USA?

Bouncing a check for insuficent funds is not a crime, but for having an account closed is. I was just wondering because he is trying to sue the person that I later sold the domain to.

What I am curious about is what ICANN's policiy is on this matter or OpenSRS since I was reselling the domains through them.

None, because this is a civil dispute. They ain't exactly a consumer watchdog.
