Write to ICANN and ask. Ariel _____ From: The EDUCAUSE Security Discussion Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Tim Lane Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 11:01 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Help with buying domain name through escrow.com Hello, just wondered if someone could offer some help here. Someone at our University here in Australia is negotiating the purchase of a registered .com domain name through another party (an individual), who is claiming title to the domain name. The only contact they have at the moment is an email address. This individual wants the purchase to be done through escrow.com, based purely on email address exchange. Although this all may be legitimate, we are not sure of the process to validate this and therefore are treating it with some caution. Right at the moment we only have an email address for the seller, nothing else. The main problem is validating the process. I am attempting to: 1) validate the authenticity of the claimed owner and; 2) validate the process for transfer of title through escrow.com Can anyone give me some tips or ideas on how this could be achieved?
