this isn't the first time... yesterday i searched the domain for the car i own... chrysler crossfire. i saw chryslercrossfire.net was available. went to register it today and it was registered yesterday 5-10-2007 probably right after i searched it? coincidence? i doubt it.
The only places I checked were:
I bet they have a whole script in place that parses the domain search into keywords, runs it through inventory.overture.com and sends of whistles and red flags when a .com or .net meets certain requirements. then they reg it before the person they essentially stole it from.
idiots. well.. not idiots it's rather smart but it's unethical for sure and possibly illegal? wack. i probably have one too many domains anyways... but this is a domain i would gladly have held onto for years and years.
I DONT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN...
do you feel my pain? if so... how do you protect yourself now?
The only places I checked were:
- Typing in the URL directly
- Searching for the URL on Dotster.com
- using whois.sc/chryslercrossfire.net for a little more info
