This is just a warning to hosts not to accept any orders for a domain albstaff.net. We have had multiple orders from this character, each time using a spoofed IP address. S/He uses a different IP, username, credit card each time, but always seems to use the same domain name. We have had 2 chargebacks from orders we overlooked with this character and have since then received a number of new signups each being declined by us. This person has used the email address secure_agent@yahoo.com to sign up a couple of times, which is also listed as the contact address in a whois lookup on the parties domain name.

Here is a whois for you all:

Sounds like a candidate for www.hostabuse.com

Gary, I would submit to host abuse if my old user / pass combo worked, but it doesn't. I have attempted to contact the hostabuse folks with no avail. I also signed up again with no luck.

Yes, I wish whoever is running that would put some more effort into it. It should be a terrific resource, but too many people are having problems trying to make use of it.

We've caught this character trying to use stolen credit cards at namecheap.com. In fact, he tried to register the domain albstaff.net with us but was quickly caught and deleted. I guess he managed to register it with someone else. I'm going to send an email to the current registrar to let them know.

I just spoke with "Jeff" over at Web.com (where the domain is registered) and gave him a link to this thread.

got the note - thanks.

This guy is not one of our chronic offenders, however I have put it up for action.

Thanks again - jeffs
