Hi,
You stole my domain, I would like it back.

I got one today saying I stole his domain, its still in his 123-reg account how come I have it.

I told him to take it up with 123-reg they clearly didn't renew it. Whats funny is I bought it off an acorn member about a year ago, and they had it for about a year (just renewed it) so its taken the guy 2 years + 99/92 days to realise he's not got the domain ?

Don't waste your time ringing Nominet for the previous registrant info. They do not hand it over.

Your best bet for an old whois record is domaintools or asking members here.

I find hitting the "delete" key on those sorts of emails is very effective!
