The fraud was initiated by Parava. They collected our money for the domains, but never paid the fees to Icann at all… This is how they lost their accreditation…

Parava lost control of the domain management, when Icann pulled their accreditation.

I lost one domain outright… It did not make it into the real whois outside of parava, and godaddy was able to sell it to someone else.

Icann’s answer was that I should sue parava – as if my suing them would permit me to be repaid my loss, when parava cannot or will not even pay Icann the money that I had paid into them…

Looks like Tucows will have some more names to skim into it’s own portfolio and resell.

Dont worry Bill. I am in somewhat of the same boat as you…I’ve been reassured by ICANN, Parava and Hover that everything is going smoothly. They should contact you tomorrow with login info.

Looking forward to it. My domains have been offline since May 1st – 12 days – as a result of this… The result of not being able to update my DNS records…
