discuss Guy says he acquired Brand dot com. But did he really?

[Rhinnnn]

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.

What's his background? Company? Name?

I'd call bs if hes an unknown

Why didn't you tag them here to simply ask them?

The same guy who's been posting 25 dollar sales on twitter

It's a fact that he bought Alter marketplace. You can confirm that from the Alter thread.

And since he was able to buy Alter, do you think brand .com is something he wouldn't be able to buy?

About selling $25 domains on twitter, it looks weird, but you need to understand that people are different; and the motivation for doing things differ.
Domaining for him might be like a game. You want to play a game everyday.
The small sales makes that possible.

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.

 

[Clover]

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.

Now that the whois is updated, I believe doubts are cleared?

Is other name ?

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
