    Posted this in the wrong thread, so I will move it here.

    I parked a domain.
    And now I get an email stating I need to unlock it so they can prove I own it.
    Or I can take screenshots of my account...

    Of course I own it. What is there deal.
    They going to do this every time.
    Anyone??

    Not sure what provider is making you do this but it could be that your domain is an expired domain that used to be in someone elses account.

    Same thing came into my mind, be aware of hackers and scammers coz when you unlock you domain name, anyone one can take it away from you and you will left with nothing...so be careful

    This happened to one of my hosting clients (his domain was at GoDaddy). His own established web hosting business was ruined due to this. He fought 7 months to get his domain back from hackers.
