Update —

Unfortunately, I had to cancel the domain. :(

Here’s the story.

NETeller, as you may know, has had a few security issues lately. I recall reading somewhere on CAP about someone having $2,000 stolen from their account.

One of my sites (which promoted casinos that accept NETeller) popped up on the radar of some anti-phishing organization.

After talking with GoDaddy’s abuse department, it appears that no “actual” phishing took place via this site. This leads me to believe that someone submitted a false claim to this organization simply because they didn’t like my site competing with their own.

Thanks for that, whoever you are. :angry:

Anyway, NETeller is very sensitive to security issues right now (due to the recent security breaches), and they wanted to resolve the phishing complaint by having my site taken down permanently — even though, as I said before, no actual phishing was taking place.

GoDaddy agreed that the situation was unusual. They suggested that I comply with NETeller’s request by cancelling the domain. I didn’t like the idea, but I also didn’t think it would be wise to wage a battle against NETeller.

So…. that site is history. :baaa:
