The bs.com domain was hijacked by Hakan Ozedemir at NSI and then transferred to GoDaddy.

Hakan is a known hijacker.

The victim (Tom Pick) was given poor legal advice and he tried suing GoDaddy and the hijacker. The case couldn’t proceed because they were unable to serve Hakan with papers. They should have sued the domain in rem, but didn’t.

Then the domain went out to “Elaine Gross”.

The interesting thing to me are the connections here to other hijackings.

All.com (stolen in Jan 08) has the same postal address in the Seychelles as BS.com did when Elaine Gross had it, and at the same Registrar (Key Systems).

And then there’s the “Gross” connection. Alex Gross (aka Astex aka Maldina Ltd aka Olga Gross) owns people.net (another hijacked domain) and also uses KeySystems with (surprise) an address in the Seychelles.

The hijacker of All.com is a great producer of fraudulent documents. This is a ploy to get the victim to have to go the costly route of court instead of UDRP. See: http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/decisions/html/2008/d2008-0322.html

Is there (currently) hard proof that these people and hijacked domains (all.com bs.com and people.net) are all related. No. But would I bet $10k that they are? You bet.

BS.com has now been resold to Bigfoot.

Sir, are you a lawyer? This is no laughing matter. We purchased the domain fair and square and these people took us through hell, threats at 3 in the morning, threats in emails, e.t.c. They had 2 years to prove their ownership in Dade County Court and believe me they sold that domain! The domain was at Network Solutions for over a year before this whole caper started in 2005. They had over 30 “BS” anexe’s in this Wipo/Udrp compared to our 8. Please dont point fingures when you dont know the whole story.

Here are the court docs. on Flickr.com

As everybody already knows, the history goes like this, the domain was purchased by a man named Alpaslan Altunkopru and his partner Mr. Hakan Ozdemir (his email is dnsrole@redwhitearmy.com)from a company called Get Useful or something in March of 2004 through through Afternic, after that, his partner Mr. Hakan Ozdemir purchased Mr.Altunkopru’s share in the domain (his email is hakan@webname.com, it used to be msavas@caths.co.uk but you have to pay for that every year , as he explained, and he didn’t renew the account and somebody else registered it). He transferred the domain to Godaddy. After a few months had passed (in June) the former owner is now saying that he never sold it but that it was taken from him (not true, since he tried 10 times to buy the domain back from Mr. Ozdemir by phone and email, but after 3 months of NO’S he figured Mr. Ozdemir was not selling, he goes to court) and sues EVERYBODY, including Godaddy, Afternic, Hakan Ozdemir, and you would not believe it but he also sues’ BS.COM as a separate entity.

The whole case goes on for more then 2 years when Mr. Ozdemir and everybody else finally receive a judgment from the judge that the case is dismissed in the middle of 2007, and after getting it out of the Godaddy, he sold the domain to us after 3 months of negotiations and we transferred it to Key-Systems. We wanted to do a Social Network-Blog site on various “BS” (bullshit) that you find around the net or some sort of British Sports site but didn’t get around to it. My lawyer checked this whole thing out with everybody before we bought it, Network Solutions, Godaddy, Afternic, Alpaslan Altunkopru, my lawyer even went up to Dade County himself to get the documents that I put on Flickr. We never had any problems, emails, phone calls or anything after we bought the domain until we started getting threats from these Pick’s from Hungary to sell the domain back to them a few months after buying it. They even offered to buy it from us through http://www.escrow.com at half of what we paid for it , now does that sound like people who had their domain stolen? Im sending you the links to the respected Dade County Miami Court’s and Judge’s rulings, anybody can also discuss this case with the the clerk on duty at the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Miami-Dade County Courts, the number of the clerk on duty is (305) 275-1155. You can also enter the case number in their automated system and will hear that the case was dismissed. When the computer asks you for the case number it will ask only for the 05-12064 number since the last CA-01—SECTION 23 (2007) and the CA-23 (2005) are the same thing! And you all know the WIPO outcome. We had payment and document copies of swift transfers for all payments ever done and for all parties ever involved. I didnt want to write here, but it just breaks my heart to see this kind of “BS” concerning our domain after we had to go through all that.

Hats off to Eric Menhardt of Cyberlaw for defending that one. No doubt took a lot of BS.

While at it, Andrew, read the ContinentalCasualty.com UDRP. I don’t know which of them is possibly more laughable.
