What's wrong? My three websites are down for a long time, you people are not responding to emails and worst of all you guys are in a limbo not replying and not telling anyone the magnitude of the situation.

Your website is working and business is fluid but ours is down. So the dns errors are good for us but not good for you.

:cc lalasticlala, myndy44,suen pls domainking has gone out of business stop their adds from running because they are still accepting payment on daily basis

Alfred200825:
DomainkingNG what is wrong? Am having issues with a blog I hosted with you, I open a support ticket for that and you guys closed the ticket without replying me. Well I think I will move the blog to a foreign host.

domainking.ng is also a foreign host company (owned by Indians).

Please any good graphic designer right here should design a graphic stating that domainking is dead. So we can all download it and start sharing on WhatsAppto everyone.

So as to help them from paying for a service that wont be rendered, thanks.

Domainking.NG, a self-styled domain registrar asserting to be Nigeria’s top choice, is in trouble; its founders were arrested by the Pune city police early in February, accused of a variety of charges.
The company’s founders operated Domainking.NG from Punjab, in India, and the local police is now taking a “terrorist angle” to the charges.
According to a report by Sakal Times, an officer in knowledge of the investigation stated:
“Some of the domain names were used for creating fake websites with words like ISIS and jihad.
We have found that the fake websites included 452 related to various governments, 362 military related, 249 had the word India, 34 payment gateways, 11 related to ISIS and other terror groups, 81 about jobs, 1492 for banks and 25 porn websites.”
Senior Police Inspector Sunil Pawar, in-charge of the cyber crime cell, said:
“Most of the websites dealt with economic fraud and the fradusters mostly from Nigeria had used the domain names for fake websites to cheat people through bogus lotteries, jobs, email spoofing, etc. Out of the total 86,000 websites, 30,875 were registered here by people from Nigeria.
We have found that people from about 100 countries including the USA, UK as well as Pakistan had got their website domain registered with the arrested accused.
The websites look similar to original ones and thus people get cheated. In India, people had been fooled with websites which had RBI word in their names.”
Meanwhile, the Facebook page of Domainking.NG is filling up with desperate and angry complaints, primarily from customers in Nigeria:
“I am not registering a new domain. All i am asking is if i can renew my existing .com domain that is about to expire? Please i need answers”
“You people are the worst set of people. You took down your server without any notice”
“Domainking.ng is presently a total waste of time…….. no customer care number to call, live chat with your customer care is zero….. you keep accepting orders meanwhile you know they’ll later encounter issues”

DomainKing.NG, allegedly the top domain registrar in Nigeria, has failed to provide basic support to its Nigerian customers, for the past two weeks.
Based in Punjab, India, two of DomainKing.NG’s officers were arrested earlier in February on a variety of charges.
Pune City police arrested the DomainKing.NG founders on fraud charges, but the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has launched a parallel probe into the case, examining whether charges related to terrorism would apply.
Domains and web sites operated by DomainKing.NG on behalf of its Nigerians customers have been offline, or broken; there have been numerous complaints on Facebook, as it’s the only forum open to the public. The DomainKing.NG support has been offline.

Meanwhile, more details about the case are coming to light, with Indian news web site, Sakal Times reporting the following:
“It has been confirmed that around 116 websites registered by Pakistanis had their IP origin in that country. Most of these websites are related to videos, porn websites and movies. The duo had registered over 86,000 domain names of websites for people from around 100 countries. Many of the websites have words like ISIS, Al-Qaeda and jihad. The accused knew that these are related to terrorists. Even then, they registered these for money. We are in the process of getting records of the accused’s email conversation with those who had got the websites registered and hope to get information about their activities,” a senior officer told Sakal Times.
Officers have also stumbled upon 15 websites with ‘.gov.in’ domain name while seven of them contained the word RBI. These websites have been used by fraudsters to cheat gullible people in the various lottery and jobs scams.
An analysis of the domain names had revealed that they had registered 362 military-related websites and most of them were about the US Army. Besides the registered websites included 452 related to various governments, 249 had the word India, 34 payment gateways, 11 related to ISIS and other terror groups, 81 about jobs, 1492 for banks and 25 porn websites.
The case of DomainKing.NG is of particular interest outside of India and Nigeria, as one of their domain assets, DomainKing.biz, was involved in a UDRP filed by the de facto Domain King®, domain investor Rick Schwartz.
Ironically, several Facebook complaints on the DomainKing.NG Facebook page come from shady characters complaining how their MLM, micro-payment affiliate and questionable charity web sites have been broken or offline; scams are rampant in Nigeria, where the term “419 Scam” originates from.

Terror angle unearthed in bogus website case

Pune: Investigations have revealed that two persons arrested from Punjab had sold domain names that were used for creating fake websites related to ISIS, other terror groups, porn, job frauds, etc. by people from about 100 countries, including 116 Pakistanis. The Pune ciy police is now investigating terrorist links in the case.

In another startling revelation, it has been found that out of 15 websites with .gov.in domain name, seven contained the word RBI and have been used by fraudsters to cheat people.

A team from the cyber crime cell under guidance of DCP Deepak Sakore has till now analysed 86,000 domain names registered in India by the two accused, identified as Hargurnaz Karimsingh Vijaysingh (30) and Parabhnaj Karamsingh Vijaysingh (25), from Jalandhar, Punjab. The police also discovered that the suspects' bank had Rs 2 crore in ill-gotten money. Hargurnaz has studied Master of Computer Application (MCA), while his brother Parabhnaj is 12th pass.

An officer privy to the investigation told Sakal Times, "Some of the domain names were used for creating fake websites with words like ISIS and jihad. We have found that the fake websites included 452 related to various governments, 362 military related, 249 had the word India, 34 payment gateways, 11 related to ISIS and other terror groups, 81 about jobs, 1492 for banks and 25 porn websites."

When contacted, Senior Police Inspector Sunil Pawar, in-charge of the cyber crime cell, said, "Most of the websites dealt with economic fraud and the fradusters mostly from Nigeria had used the domain names for fake websites to cheat people through bogus lotteries, jobs, email spoofing, etc. Out of the total 86,000 websites, 30,875 were registered here by people from Nigeria. We have found that people from about 100 countries including the USA, UK as well as Pakistan had got their website domain registered with the arrested accused. The websites look similar to original ones and thus people get cheated. In India, people had been fooled with websites which had RBI word in their names."

According to police, in 2008, Hargurnaz had set up Ideaa Biz Solutions as domain registrar, web hosting and Internet company. Actually, he worked as a re-seller for PublicDomainRegistry (PDR), which is a global leader in providing domain registration services. In 2014, he established Hannu Internet Corp. Private Limited with him and his mother as directors. This company operated through the website domainking.ng claiming to be Nigeria's no. 1 domain name registrar and web hosting company.

Though he had given an address from Nigeria, the firm operated from Jalandhar with 24x7 technical support with the help of 14 computers. For monetary transactions, they used Hong Kong-based payment wallet perfectmoney.com and wrtransfer.com
Police officials said that initially the accused did genuine work but since 2012, he had been associated with people registering domain names for fake websites. The accused was arrested on February 4 and the duo are in police custody till February 16. Police Inspector Radhika Phadke is further investigating the case.

How the accused were tracked

The case came to light through a complaint filed by Ajaykumar Thakur of Keshavnagar, who runs an electronic weighing machine manufacturing unit. Thakur imports raw material from a Chinese firm. On October 10 last year, he placed an order worth $72,672 through an e-mail to the company. Upon receiving an email confirmation, he had transferred $7,000. However, he discovered the money was wired into a different account. Thakur would often communicate with ‘harvey@camry.com’, but in March 2016, he received a mail from ‘harvey@camrry.com’ and accordingly he transferred money without seeing the mail id properly. After this he had lodged a police complaint in November last year and further investigation led the police to the two brothers.
