Alert: Francois cancels auctions of Stolen Domains

If you bid on any of the following domains on the marketplace CAX.com – operated by domain entrepreneur Francois Carrillo – you’d be notified that the auctions are canceled:

– GirlsToys.com
– Co7.com
– BusinessShop.com
– SweetKisses.com
– Summoning.com
– LiveAmateurs.com
– Mph.com
– HostingSpace.com
– EcommerceHost.com
– BusinessServer.com
– Ex7.com

Certain information related to the opening of the seller’s account at CAX led Francois to pull the auctions, citing the following:

“Apparently domains for sale by Stuart Monney has been stollen. So we decided to cancel all the auctions from this buyer to prevent damages. We are sorry but it’s very difficult to detect stollen domains at submission because the email of the WHOIS owner is the same as the member. It’s only a serie of indices that alerted us about the possible scam. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

Earlier this week, another scammer attempted to sell the stolen domain GUI.com first on various forums such as DNForum and Digital Point and then on Flippa and Afternic. While Flippa ended the auction and banned the seller, Afternic has yet to remove the stolen domain, GUI.com from its marketplace.

With the proliferation of online marketplaces and venues listing domains for free, it’s to be expected that scammers will attempt to dispose of their stolen domains en masse, attempting to raise as little suspicion as possible.

WHOIS tools such as DomainTools that archive historical WHOIS data are extremely useful in identifying domains with dubious changes in ownership.
