LegalWorker - WARNING! FAKE REGISTRY Registered | 2007-05-29 03:55:34 ON THE OTHER HAND: ------------------- A PERMANENT FEDERAL COURT INJUNCTION WAS ISSUED TODAY! ------------------ ================================================== ============ The Federal Court Stated CLEARLY: The Court has ordered Kevin Medina and RegisterFly, to comply with ALL other aspects of the Original Preliminary Injunction AS WELL as this NEW Permanent Injunction ==================================== This is the first step for criminal charges to be brought against rouge registry operator Kevin Medina. Every day he remains in contempt is evidence that opens the door to interstate federal criminal charges. Today before the court, Mr Medina may not yet realize that indirectly he is acknowledging his fraudulent actions at www.Registerfly.com are of a direct criminal nature by continuing to benefit by the commission of his acts of aiding and abetting a crime. [Legal Definition]*A person charged with aiding and abetting or accessory is usually not present when the crime itself is committed, but he or she has knowledge of the crime before or after the fact, and may assist in its commission through advice, actions, or financial support, depending on there degree of premeditated involvement, the offender's participation in the crime may raise the charges to a CONSPIRACY. I agree with the "Registerflies Administrator" that criminal actions at Registerfly.com do indeed constitute "GRAND LARCENY" and would seem that INTERPOL should be brought into investigate this ongoing "INTERNATIONAL FRAUD" Each day could be deemed a separate offense by Law Enforcement Authorities Everyday Mr Medina and Registerfly stay in continued violation of the just issued "PERMANENT INJUNCTION [Contempt of the Court] every deceptive/defiant action knowing that his registrars and hosts have "closed his registry account privilege's" to register/renew domain names would "imply that he and his staff/accomplices are knowingly" perpetrating monetary Fraud by ... 'Unjust Enrichment/Theft by Deception all of the above said premeditated acts of deception add up to a "GRAND LARCENY CONSPIRACY" *Offering phony goods and services they cannot deliver upon the public, a deliberate deception for a monetary fee at the .... *** FAKE! Counterfeit Website ... REGISTERFLY.com ====================================== FURTHERMORE: If they don’t fully comply with the Preliminary Injunction by June 1, 2007, RegisterFly (or Kevin Medina personally) is required to pay $5,000.00 per day until they do. As the Court previously ordered, Kevin Medina did personally appear in Court today, as the Court had ordered. He acknowledged that he understood the Court’s order. ================================================= ICANN reports: 05/25/07 A RegisterFly Bulk Transfer Imminent. I have personally have received verified notice from a member of the contractual legal staff that helped broker the deal for the following upcoming "Mass Bulk Domain Name Transfer"... between Godaddy at ICANN formal request. ICANN has officially authorized www.GoDaddy.com to act as the intermediary registry, to exclusively push via a Bulk Transfer all requested "stuck Zombie Domain Names" away from ... the troubled and scandalous ex-ICANN accredited Domain Registry www.Registerfly.com The ICANN accredited Registry www.GoDaddy.com shall act as an instrument of communication, to provide problem solving assistance to ICANN with there already existing "Concierge Service Dept" for Registerfly.com "Domain Name holders" including proxy,"Protectfly WHOIS Registrants" This long awaited development shall provide qualified Registerfly.com domain name owners ... the opportunity to stay with Godaddy.com or to transfer to any ICANN accredited Domain Name Registry of there choosing, as soon as the Transfer Interface is active on-line to perform this ... Global Public Service. A press release from Godaddy.com with the Official Date is expected to be announced 'Next Week! ================================================== ==

captainproton - Problem with $5000 amount Registered | 2007-05-26 05:25:51 I think the problem is as you pointed out, that $5000 may not be enough to inspire Medina to action. And even if it does, one has to wonder the extent of follow through or if he will 'marginally comply'. Another thing, I think the judge may think this is a princely sum compared to a few domain registrations at $8 each, but as you put it in all reality it may not be. We can hope that by Sunday night we have at least a sign...

whizz - Process? Registered | 2007-05-25 23:40:04 Let's hope that GoDaddy and ICANN actually tell us the process we can use to claim our domain names - those with the right contact info, those with the ProtectFly junk and those that have either "disappeared" or expired due to RF's failures. Not to mention the fact that we got a whole pile of Authcodes out of RF this past 2 weeks (about 16 of the 20 names we still have stuck there) and started the process to transfer but haven't seen a single transfer approval/disapproval email out of RF in ten days now. Hmmm.

memescafe - Here's what has been posted o Registered | 2007-05-29 08:36:36 Kevin posted it on the Customer Service page....go figure!! Customer Service Center NOTICE TO CONSUMERS. THE INTERNET CORPORATION FOR ASSIGNED NAMES AND NUMBERS - THE NON FOR PROFIT ENTITY THAT ADMINISTERS THE INTERNET'S DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM, HAS ISSUED A NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF THIS COMPANY'S ACCREDITATION TO SERVE AS AN INTERNET DOMAIN NAME REGISTRAR. PLEASE SEE WWW.ICANN.ORG FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. Here's the link to website: https://registerfly.com/help/

JohnCell - Customer Service page is not g Registered | 2007-05-30 10:00:34 According to the Preliminary Injunction dated 26 April 2007, paragraph 11 (page 5): " . . . a notice that must appear in the top third of each web page, must be in 14 point bold typeface, . . . ." He is clearly still in contempt. $5,000 per day is obviously not enough. Write to The Honorable Manuel L. Real, United States District Court Judge, Central District of California, 312 N Spring St, Room 529, Los Angeles CA 90012. It seems that only many of us writing will help the Judge to understand the scope of the problem.

webbadger Registered | 2007-05-30 14:18:39 Not only is the notice placed in an obscure location, it has been intentionally formatted so as to be virtually unreadable -- with the line spacing set at about half the font size so that the lines intersect horizontally. An illegible notification in my opinion does not constitute compliance with a court order.

maxse Registered | 2007-05-31 00:18:24 Guys help! I just registered for a domain at registerfly.com on May 30th! I had no clue about this and only noticed when my tickets were unanswered and I went to the customer support page! My domain worked for a few hours bu not stopped working and I dont know whats going on. I cant register it anywhere else because it says it is now taken. Also for some reason there is no whois information on it at whois.com; it gives me some sort of error. What do I do?

Festus Registered | 2007-05-31 19:24:55 I am a scambaiter and like to mess with Nigerians and Romanians that are trying to rip people off and Kevin is no better than them... I could smell this was a scam a mile away. The worst part is that Kevin will get off scott free and as soon as someone steps in to force registerfly off the net, he will open some other website up to rip people off... just wait and see.

ajmurphy1 Registered | 2007-06-20 00:04:30 Festus, I wrote just about the exact same thing in another thread today before seeing your post here. You could not possibly be more correct. This is actually what is going to happen. I've seen this same thing over and over again and again with business people in this country. This is quiet normal. Kevin will indeed just move on and set up yet another scam. Give him a year or two, maybe even less, and he will be back at it, business as usual, scamming more people. Once a scammer always a scammer. And the law is not going to do anything about it. I, on the other hand, am currently being evicted from my apartment because I lost so many clients and this entire thing literally ruined my business. I tried to open up a new business, to replace my web design business that Kevin destroyed, but I didn't have enough resources to make my new business fly (no pun intended). My landlord doesn't care what caused all of this; the only thing he cares about is getting his money. I can't get away with the kinds of things that Kevin is getting away with and I am having to pay for what he did to my business. By this time next week, I'll probably be homeless because of all of this. I’ve already received my notice from the landlord and have no way out. And there is no legal protection for me, and absolutely not one single soul out there who really cares. There is no help for me. By next week, hell, I probably won't even be online anymore. My internet is also getting shut down - any day now. Kevin stole money from me, he caused me to loose credibility with all of my clients, he caused my clients domains to go offline and their sites started resolving to parking pages with ads that promoted services that were in direct competition with my clients. I’m sure you can appreciate how upset that made my clients. My clients pulled their accounts with me and went to my competitors. I lost my income because of this. The entire situation is just screwed!

alden960 Registered | 2007-06-29 02:16:14 Wow man thats f'd up. Sorry things are going so bad. I'd offer you a place to stay but i have no idea where you are located. This dude has screwed so many people. If i can do something (other then send money because i have none to send) please let me know

FuckedFly - AJ, we care Registered | 2007-07-03 23:34:58 AJ, I feel your loss, just like my own loss, that's why you have to join in the Class Action that is held by the NC lawers, maybe you still get some back in the end. And yes, you're right, it's sad to see that outsiders don't care, ICANN doesn't care and all of the rest, they don't see what you and I and all others who are in the same boat as us have to go through. The biggest and sadest part is, if you have a name and do a criminal act here in the USA you may get a pardon from Bush, just like Scooter ;) But we with no name can go to hell!
