A forged fax? So you bought the domain through enom.com and someone sent them a fax with your signature? How would enom even know what your signature looks like? This sounds like you could get it back with a phone call or 2. Who have you contacted so far and what are they telling you?
I would not say it would be easy to get it back and definetly not free.
This sucks that it was even possible!
Bo, i bought this in 2004 (new domain) and it was transfered Nov 6th from my registrar to to namecheap. mine said they had my permission and a signed fax from me that I never did.
I’ve went through this and worse before.
If the website is not making much money write your own letter to them and get it authenticated by a notary public with a stamp to show that they have seen your id. On this letter state that you request the domain name to be transferred back to where it used to be and that you did not authorize this initial change. Also state that you are seeking legal opinion and that you will press charges if this does not happen.
The main problem is that the registrar might take the safe route and hold the domain name as is until they get a court order to be transferred back which can take weeks or months.
If the website is making money initiate the process to get a court order to get it changed back. Contact a lawyer asap.
The third route is pretend you know all about the change and then send another fax to the new registrar to get it changed to the old one, pretending that everything is good. That way they wont suspect that the domain name was stolen and they wont place it on hold.
Either way its a shit situation.
As for what you should bring to your lawyer a print off of you initially buying the domain name and that its registered to you and how long you registered it for that way he has something to show the judge.
Wow, that trully sucks, a whole new level of scam… Enom are turning out to be a very lousy company, after all.
I also file my taxes unfer allfreechips as well.. I know I have the legal right to it, and putting a hold is ok as it is still pointed to my server, ie allfreechips still points to my dedicated server.

No, enom is where it was transfered to, 1and1 is my registrar that let it go.
Oh, I see, you just used Enom for the whois.
Then I guess someone has hacked into your account:

Then its in your best interest to get this started as fast as you can so if its frozen it is while its pointed to your server versus the asswipe.

i like this idea, an eye for an eye! aarrrhhh :cappy:
We had a domain stolen in march 2007 ,we ended up getting it back after 4 months and about $2000.00 in legal fees.Work with the original company first as it was their incompetance that allowed the domain to be transfered.
now i get an email from cap i had someone try 5 times to log in as me here, wtf is going on anymore!
