So this guy today posted on Twitter announcing the alleged acquisition of Brand dot com - an extremely valuable domain name.

The problem?

The domain's Whois details haven't been updated since 2017:

So what's going on here? It seems to me that this is one of the fakest domainers around and I'd advise everyone to treat any interaction with him with caution.

Btw, this is the same guy who said he'd buy Alter dot com but then resorted to cheap/weird excuses to back out of the deal.

I don't understand.

I honestly don't see how all the points you listed above led you to believe the deal was done. I'm 99% sure there is no deal at this time.

I think you are the only one who reads the Alter thread that way and probably also the only one here who believes in the buyer - It does sound rather crazy to me that he has bought Alter, sued Deven and wants to turn it into a porn site - LOL

The Twitter username was already visible in my first post.

If he did indeed buy Brand dot com I will apologize to him.

It's just hard not to be suspicious when you say you sold a domain for 8 figures:


while at the same time Tweeting stuff like:

or:

But hey, weird stuff happens all the time, right?

P.S.: I've attached screenshots because Tweets can be deleted.

Consider it fixed. Thanks for the update. Missed it entirely.

Yes who is takes some time to update.
Actually no. A whois update at this registry happens almost instantly. I made my whois query to them directly. As you can see at the timestamps, the whois change happened shortly before my query. When I looked earlier, there was no change yet.

Okay, maybe just not for all WHOIS lookup tools tho, cuz I bought a domain a couple weeks ago and once it got into my account, I looked it up on Whoxy to make sure a change has happened and it wasn't updated yet.

I follow the twitter guy, he does domain giveaways and sometimes domain promo sales...I don't see any wrong or suspicious in that...Since it's not confirmed he is actually lying why don't you wait for a while and see how it turns.. I mean if he's lying he won't hold it up for so long right :)

I wonder whatever happened to this massive 42.69 BTC giveaway? :ROFL:

If anyone still believes anything this guy says... please do yourself a favor and stop.

And regarding Brand dot com, it would be super easy for this person to prove he bought it. But he can't prove it because he didn't buy anything.

As a side note, probably 99% of all Crypto giveaways on Twitter are fake.
