Be careful who you sell your domains to!

So I check my domain access logs today and I notice a sizable traffic increase, that points back to some blog run by fellow Greeks. The first hunch was that someone points to my domains, Acroplex.com and Acro.net because they found something of interest; instead, there is a bunch of crap about an adult traffic domain, which I sold back in January!

Apparently, the new owner – a Greek Australian – has set up a porn site and started spamming the Blogger forums pimping his “ladies”. Which is fine by me, but because he uses WHOIS shield, there is no indication of me not being linked to the domain anymore. I contacted his web host and his account was promptly suspended. I’m also his eNom domain registrar (reseller) and I will consider unlocking his info. The sad part is that once again, people that have no access to the proper information jumped to conclusions in an instant. Gotta love the Internet lynch mob.

Once again, be careful about who you sell your domains to, they might be used wrongfully in the future.
