I forgot to renew my domain name winosandfoodies.com. These people now own my domain name and have suggested I make an offer starting at US$200 to buy it back. Even to talk to them I need to register my credit card details with them, which they will charge $1. As if I would give my credit card details to such an underhand group? I can operate without it so they can keep it. I just need to sort out my domain mapping with Typepad to get back to normal. You will need to contact me by email pinotgrisATgmailDOTcom as any comments are not coming through to me.
UPDATE: Actually I have discovered those people don't own my domain name. It has now been freeparked elsewhere and I'm trying to contact the owner. His phone mail box is full and I can only hope he will reply to my email. He/she lives/works/or has an office at 14150 NE 20th St in Bellevue WA. It isn't a big city so maybe you know him/her.
FURTHER UPDATE: The owner of my domain name has agreed to return it to me for the cost of the registration $29.95. Nice to know there are people out there with a heart. Things will be back to normal as soon as the transfer is complete.
