Purchasing Domain Difficulty

Enom difficulty

[DavidWood99]

I have been trying to purchase a domain and am having difficulty. The webmaster information on the page tells me the status is registered. Sent an email to [e-mail] with no response. Made a call and left a message with no response. Made a call and spoke to someone in a different department who told me legal doesn't do anything by phone but only by email - sent email to legal with no response. Submitted offer through Afternic and the offer expired with no response. Anybody have any other ideas on how to find the owner of the site or another way to make this happen?

Not entirely clear on the background here but if I had emails offering to buy my domain I would assume they were either a fake subject for spam or a scam. Either way they would hit the trash can unopened.

I've had the same problems, unfortunately I have found no resolution. I'm afraid piatkow's response is most likely the norm. That’s too bad, I know of some domain owners that have missed out on a nice offer for their un-used domain because they would not respond or did not get their email.

I thought going through afternic and whois would help keep them from being deleted. I do not know the true owner of the site nor their email address. My understanding is that whois would forward mail like this to the owner? The domain is not currently being used but is owned and registered.

Whois does not have the time to deal with these types of issues.

Whats on the domain registration? There must be some contact information there. Name, phone, address, registrar?
