How Bank of America sniped my domain

• gii2 11y ago
  I've heard similar stories from people trying to buy from GoDaddy.

    Is it? I came to the conclusion it was my Twitter and GH goofup. How would GoDaddy directly benefit from this?

      There's a lot of stories about people searching for a domain on GoDaddy, seeing a good deal - and by the time they fill out the information the domain is purchased. By who? By GoDaddy. http://antigodaddy.com/ http://antigodaddy.com/

        But this one was bought by CSC Global which is a corporation in itself. Ofcourse, unless GoDaddy sells the information and has some sort of partnership with CSC. Tbh, I think CSC's modus has to be murkier than just scanning the interweb for empty pointing domains and clues. Edit: Shit, the horror. http://antigodaddy.com http://antigodaddy.com

  I always get a bit anxious when searching for a good domain because I think someone might be analyzing these queries and might reserve the name before me if they want to.
