Thread: Domain Transfer Fraud

Recently we notice that some of our customers are facing some sort of problem where they sold the domain and even moved the domains to prospective customer account after that they came to know that their payment is not realized or chargeback.

Although we always help our customer in that situation to get back their domains but we want to alert all of you that :

1. Without receiving the money if you transfer the domain you are always running into the risk of fraud.

2. Always tell your prospective buyer to create another account with Mitsu and then move domains in prospective customer account and also inform us (registrar) to lock the domain in new account and also inform prospective buyer that he will not be able to transfer out domains for 120 days as you may run in the risk of chargebak. If you move domain in new customer account and if new customer try to take transfer of these domains we always ask for details from original registrant, this is our practice to safeguard you. No other registrar will give you this sevice.

3. If your prospective buyer is Mitsu customer then you can ask us for his reputation sometime we can help you.

4. It is always better that you keep your registrar updated about the transaction sometime it may help in case of disputes. Atleast at Mitsu we care for customer safety.

Really good information to know - thanks! I hadn't realized that you could lock a domain after transfer in case of charge back - that's very helpful.
