Legal Question in Technology Law in New Jersey
Domain Hijacking!!!
My domain register has stolen 2 of my 12 domains. I have the credit card /
paypal receipts that proves this... That I am indeed the true owner of all 12
domains. That all 12 domains were paid and all were up to date. None of the
domains were ready to expire for months.
The register admits their system was at fault and failed to renew the 2
domains. When you do a whois look up the 2 domains are still registered
with them, they still maintain control and will not return control back to me.
The 10 remaining domains I have left in my account with them are also all
registered under their name, not mine!
I do not have buckets of money for legal counsel every were I go, everybody I
write, nobody wants to touch this. Think how you would feel if it was your
domain in question here. If the register tried to pull this scam on let's say the
domain name lawguru.com do you think it would go unresolved. Something
tells me it would be taken care of immediately! Why would that issue be
resolved while my issue simply gets ignored.
I am being scammed! I am the creator of these domains they didn't exist
until I registered them. I have maintained them for years and now I might
lose them all. HELP!!!
