If you fall for one of these sneaky transfer forms, you may end up paying extra for a domain or accidentally “permitting” the transfer of your domains to someone else.In addition to having your existing domains hijacked through subversive transfers, there are an increasing number of reports of people having their domain ideas pinched before they can register the domain themselves. It appears that a number of domain research tools are culling the data from users’ searches, and using that data to instantly purchase the searched domains before the searcher himself can do so. So, for example, if you are using a tool to research available domains and come across a real gem, the owner of the tool you are using may swoop in and buy up the domain, thus taking advantage of your ingenuity while depriving you of a great domain. Because of this possibility, it is important that if you come across a previously unregistered gem domain, spend the few bucks right then to buy it up rather than take the chance on losing it by waiting a few minutes.Beyond pinches and swipers, you also need to keep an eye on your registrar. There are a number of reports of domain registrars being intentionally slow or unresponsive in the days leading up to a domain’s expiration so as to ensure that the domain expires and reverts back to the registrar. If you have a dispute, check with WIPO for mediation, but the best policy is just to protect yourself in the first place by having at least a full-month’s buffer when transferring registrars.

Los estafadores de Internet (slammers, spammers, swipers y claim jumpers) intentarán varios trucos para conseguir quitarte tu dominio, incluyendo mensajes de renovacion falsos. Si caes en alguna de estas formas disimuladas de transferencia, puede terminar teniendo que pagar sumas adicionales por tu dominio o inclusive peor “permitiendo” accidentalmente la transferencia de tus dominios a otro. Adicionalmente a tener tus dominios practicamente secuestrados para que no te lo roben, hoy existe un número en aumento de informes de gente a la que le ha “robado” su idea de dominio antes de que pueda registrarlo. Aparecen como ciertas herramientas de investigacion de dominios que juntan informacion sobre las busquedas que hacen los usuarios, y luego usan esos datos para comprar inmediatamente el dominio antes de que tu lo puedas hacer. Así pues, por ejemplo, si estas utilizando una herramienta para investigar dominios disponibles y aparece una verdadera joyita, el dueño de la herramienta que estas utilizando puede tirarse encima de el dominio y registrarlo antes que ti, aprovechándose asi de tu creatividad e ingenio mientras te priva de un gran dominio. Debido a esta posibilidad, es importante que si ves una joyita sin registrar, gastes esos pocos dolares comprandolo mas que correr el riesgo de perderlo esperando unos minutos. [...] […] 18.
