> Hey Sunil,

> The domain was registered yesterday actually:

> onlineauctionresources.com

There are no spies, spying, or spyware involved

Go here and see the domain existed previously, even with a web site

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.onlineauctionresources.com

The more recent (up to 2005) entries all show "web site disabled" sites (which kind of suggests whoever owned the domain, didn't pay their hosting bill)

But you can see previous versions of the site, were live once,
e.g.

http://web.archive.org/web/20040101023755/http://www.onlineauctionresources.com/

(BTW Do a view source and the page belonged to somebody with ClickBank nickname "holdem" (I don't know who that is)

which also quite a contrast from

http://web.archive.org/web/20030829005100/http://www.onlineauctionresources.com/

Anyway going back to Internet archive,

- Earliest site in archive is 29th August 2003
- Latest site is 11 March 2005

So I think it's a fair guess

Domain was registered originally in late August 2003. It must have been registered for 2 years (or 1 and then renewed - but you'll see that's unlikely) because it still resolved 18 months after the first site appeared

Some point between 26 March 2004 (where the archive works) and 29 April 2004 (where the site contains a message say the site is disabled), the owner loses interest, gets shut down by his host for spamming, or whatever.

The domain eventually expires in late August 2005.

Which means there would be a pretty good chance that it was dropped, and became available to register in December 2005 or early January 2006.

Then the following happened:

Either

- At least two people saw it was available (it's not an unobvious name to check - and there are plenty of tools to check for many names like this at a time), and you were beaten to it by the other guy

- Or, the other guy saw it on an expired domain list

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)

        PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
        If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
        NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!"
        Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.
        Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

        You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.
        By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board.
        In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact.
        And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!).
