Sanmay Ved managed to successfully purchase the domain name making him owner until Google realized its mistake


Surprise: Sanmay Ved stumbled upon his purchase


A man owned Google.com for a matter of minutes after successfully buying the domain name of the world’s most popular website for just $12.

Sanmay Ved was scrolling through Google’s new domains sale service when he typed in the address and discovered Google.com was available to buy.

Assuming there must have been a mistake, Mr Ved tried to add the domain to his cart – and was shocked to find he could.

Error: Google.com was somehow available to buy
Writing in a LinkedIn post , he said: “I was hoping I would get an error at sometime saying transaction did not go through, but I was able to complete the purchase, and my credit card was actually charged.”

Once the transaction was complete, Mr Ved received two emails confirming his purchase.

Further inspection confirmed that ownership of Google.com had indeed been transferred to him.

But minutes later, he received an email from Google saying they had cancelled the order.
