You need to contact http://tucows.com/ about the domain theft.
I have the whois info saved for that domain from July 2006.
If you want it, PM me.
Just a note here: at that time the domain nameservers were the same as for CPF.

Man, what a scam. They probably mined a cached page of the original site and then made it into a spampage for whoever picked up the name.
If I knew how to do a DNS attack, I'd consider it.

Looks like somebody stole JSB's identity, pretend to be JSB and moved the website. The problem is what else he/she stole - credit card info, bank info driver's licence, SIN @s etc.
JSB, are the links in the hijacked site yours or new? If new the hijacker could be charging monies for referrel.
There are too many crooks on the internet. It is so easy to scam someone and stay relatively hidden.

A few years back I did a Listmania list on Amazon.com (too lazy to do individual reviews). One day while Googling I came across my entire list and comments on a website. The enterprising fella added links to Amazon, Reel.com and a few other sites. He slowly accumulated enough money from the links/referrals to buy the stuff for himself. As he get each item he wrote his own review, replacing mine. Took him almost a year to get everything he wanted. Then he deactivated the site.
Funny part Amazon was paying him to display info that is free on Amazon.

jon failed to mention some important details...
the domain has not expired yet (not until november 24th), and was paid up until that point. this is not a typical case of someone else renewing your website...
and while jon does have another, active and working website here, the problem is that many people are unaware of it, and expect to find him at hwww.jsburlys.com, and when he's not there, he looses business. business needed to keep him in business...

The email addresses are the same.
The domain did not move very far at all.
In fact it is right there with CPF as a neighbor probably.
My site is hosted by Rusko and formerly Digital Princeton. The same places as CPF.
digitalproviders.net is using my domain name jsburlys.com as a commercial site. They are a co-hosting company that has the box. So I guess the people that involved in servicing CPF stole my domain name.
Calling Rusko does not good. No responce to emails or calls ever.

Check the registrant record again. the phone numbers have since been substituted with generic "555-1212" numbers
Was the domain locked?
On my domain host I can lock the domain so it can't be transfered to someone else.
The only way to transfer it to someone else is to unlock it first.
EDIT: did you register the domain yourself or did you registar it with the hosting company?

You probably need to go directly to a lawyer (who specializes in this stuff) and get the usual letter written (theft of trademark, damages, etc.). You need to find the company who sold you the domain and administers your registration information (ICAN or whomever) and deal with them directly.
You probably will not have any luck dealing with the registration hijackers.

I am reading between the lines and am going to stick my neck out here ,but the Domain probably was never owned legally by Jon. Like many people, they believe they own their Domain, when in reality it is some hosting company , that is legally recorded as ... Registrant, Tech contact and Admin contact.
The ownership was to the Registrant, who ever that might have been until the last few days of record change.
He might have thought he owned it, but I suspect not. If he was the registrant he would have had to sign off on any changes to the record. Now I in no way agree with what seems to have happened and hope it can be resolved. But the fact that the Domain does not expire till November is a clue.

This could be an attempt to fool customers by pretending to be your site, and steal credit card numbers from people
Definitely take action fast on this.
Ask your lawyer about putting up a warning at your currently good page, and to find out what you can do to warn payment companies (credit card/PayPal) if it appears the site stealer is using it to steal people's information.
Also talk to the lawyer about trademark -- you should trademark your name, if you haven't already, and then you can take action against anyone pretending to be you who is confusing potential customers.

Jon, you might also want to contact the service that you used to register/host the domain name. They might be able to take care of things for you or at least point you in the right direction.
