Being held hostage

One of my domain names expired last week, by accident. My IT guy is tracking it down, and it looks like and administrative miss from the ISP.

An Internet hoodlum scooped up the domain name just after it expired and is now requesting 169 Euros for his "costs".

He claims that he did not plan the timing of this, he just happened to register the domain name and it was available. Highly unlikely story because I have a website behind the domain name that even an internet novice would have investigated before registering a domain name.

I will keep you posted on the outcome, and expose the internet hoodlum if he insists on pursuing extortion. It did not work on Letterman, and won't work on me.
