    Hello Fellow DP Members. I am writing this post to warn you about an aggressive scam seller FunkyDog. The details about this seller can be found in the following thread, where I have listed my grievances against him. As you can see from my +38 feedback with 0 Negatives, I am a very responsible buyer/seller here on DP. I am infuriated at the behavior of this seller and he is a scammer who will sell you a domain and then try to force you to give it back to him by saying you stole it from him.

    Here is the PM where he sold me the domain:

    Here are the threads where I posted the emails where he threatened me and tried to make me give him back the domain that I paid him $75 for.

    And this is the original thread that I bought the domain from:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=472600

    This is a simple warning to not to do business with seller FUNKYDOG unless you want to receive similar threatening emails where he tries to threaten you into giving back domains you have paid for.

    Please post here if you have also received threatening emails from FunkyDog.

    As it alerts people buying domains of those purchasing domain names in this particular forum. - It's not hard to work out and it's quite logical, if you think about it, even though it maybe against the rules.

    Thanks for the alert!

    what a lame excuse. what if people put his info in whois in other domain, can we sue him? this guy is a nut... not to mention that he said FBI will take care of stealing or illegal trading domain issues. come on!
