Domain names hijacked!!

    Just to inform you that my domain names have been hijacked by someone. He hacked into my Namecheap account and transfered it to his name. He changed my Namecheap password and email contact as well. He is trying to sell some of the domain names.

    Not only he did this, he found my paypal id in my account and tried to even hack into my paypal account. Luckily Paypal managed to stop him.

    Currently I am working with Namecheap to transfer the ownership back to me. This to alert you in case he try selling the domain to you.

    These are my domain names.

    Namecheap has helped me to recover my domains. However, I still have two more missing. I must give credit to Namecheap for their fast action.

    This is the email used by this person in my namecheap account : mubashar_siddique@yahoo.com

    He posted an ad in one of the site he hijacked offering it for sale using this email id : smithsamuel007@gmail.com

    Upon contacting him trying to buy the domain, he responded and gave this paypal id : secure.album.aspx@gmail.com

    He used my namecheap account to make a few purchase using a credit card ending with 6279

    He made these purchases :-
    1. pakhackerz.com
    2. warezworld.us
    3. hackerzworld.org
    4. Premium hosting with Namecheap for Hosting.dosthackerz.com

    What a bastard, someone was telling me the other day how good namecheap is at pushing domains from one account to another while it takes a pain at Godaddy, now I see that making the process a pain could actually save one's domains...

    Hope you get it all sorted soon.
