Domain Magnate

In shade of recent events on DNForum, where some stolen domains were sold and others offered for sales and brokered, be very careful when asked to broker domains.

If a newbie member on a domaining forum asks you to broker a premium domain, there is a high chance it’s a stolen domain, otherwise why wouldn’t he do it himself?

Brokering a stolen domain can make you a partner in crime and you might lose your reputation and money.

Here is a recent stolen domains thread on DNF: - Unresolved Namess Sale - with over 10 pages of replies in just a few hours! According to some of the posts the thief sold stolen domains for $100K-650k+ These are also linked to the notorious Iranian theif

So there you go for another little domaining tip on how to avoid scams: be 100% sure the domain is not stolen before agreeing to broker it.

Few more threads with stolen domains:
