Ok, now the question of WHY really start’s being asked.

What I did not mention last night was I got this email from “Maurice”

********Hi!
I'd like to return your domain: katvixen.com
Would you consider to buy it?
Thanks.
********

I sure as hell am not going to pay for what is mine so some thief can make a profit, so I did not respond.

Than we found out about camsguys.com being stolen so that really threw a wrench in our way of thinking of who/why/how.

Than late last night I got another email

******Hi!
Its my final notice: if you want your domain back, i'll give it to ya.
Just register at godaddy.com send me your login and password and i'll push it to you.
*******

So this morning after I talked to my Lawyer, we decided to risk it since godaddy did not ask me for anything other than name, address, email.

And not 30 mins after I sent the email off I got my 3rd email

*****Hi!
You should receive an email from Godaddy with instructions how to get your domain.
Thanks.
*****

I verified it and changed the password to the godaddy admin and am now once more the owner of KatVixen.com

We are waiting for the DNS to change so please do not change any links, more than likely I will be have a redirect (as I already had) from katvixen.net to katvixen.com.

The password in question was one of the first passwords I ever used when I got online, it was my “main” password for a while, but over the years I changed it to all the “important” stuff that dealt with money and so on. Once more I repeat, I never dreamed something like this could have happen.

(FYI if you don’t consider your domain admin important as I didn’t you might want to reconsider that)

When I said I shared it with another, it was not shared as in “this is my pass to the domain admin” it was shared as a password on 4 differnt “low level” admins, so at the time, our thought was that this person saw I used it 4 times and thought “maybe he used it a 5th time”

We are relived with out a doubt; a huge weight has been lifted.

But please make no mistake, I am still after this guy, he has done it 2 times that we know of, and I will do what I can to see that he pays for his crimes.

So Maurice, if you’re reading this, keep looking over your shoulder buddy, it’s only a matter of time.
