Someone tried to take over my site, how do I prevent this?!

[Kenji4861]

So I've been running Spoofee.com for a while now. Today I got an email saying someone is requesting to transfer the domain name Spoofee.com to another domain owner.

Once the ownership of Spoofee.com is transferred, I'm done with.

Is there a way to copyright my name or register as mine so someone cannot take over like this?

So you are the one that runs Spoofee. :thumbsup:

doh I'm busted!

just kidding... go to your domain registar and LOCK the domain.

 

[jjones]

Contact your registrar and file a complaint, and get your domains locked. I foresee quite a bit of this kind of abuse forthcoming since the change of rules at ICANN.

ICANN dropped the ball on this one. They're getting as bad as the IEEE. :|

 

[Double Trouble]

I doubt whether anyone would want to hijack my domains - they're not that exciting - but went ahead and locked them anyway. I don't need some dimwit doing something stupid......

Spoofee? As in the one with the contest? I gotta get on that... it is still going right?
