Inflation.us - NIA Scam
The Interwebs on May 12, 2009 at 1:22 pmI wrote about getting my domain, Inflation.us, stolen several months ago. There is no chance of me getting it back as long as it is registered at Register.com - The worst registrar I have ever dealt with.
Turns out the person who stole it sold it to a a group of guys that are now using it to scam people. They use a newsletter to "Pump and Dump" their worthless stocks, like spammers do with email.
Justin Faith called me last week thinking I was involved because the domain is still in my name, but I cleared up my, or lack of my, involvement. He's made a video explaining what is going on, I've embedded it below.
The stolen domain bit is an after thought, but the video has gotten 5,000 views in a few days so hopefully this will get to Register.com and I can get my freakin' domain back.
