I did not bring this to PAW until after a month's worth of
polite emails that were ignored and evaded. As I have explained in another thread, I have given up hope of any amicable resolution.
I have nothing more to lose. Money is gone, and the websites are gone, as far as I was concerned.
But, you see how an FTP address magically materializes once I have gotten his attention with PAW's support.

If you believe that, then you have not been reading all of his emails, for example:
Forwarded email from Craig:

He got that email because he still had himself listed as the official contact for the domain, rather than changing it to *my* email address, which he obviously had available.
All he had to do was go into his server account and simply click on a little button under "Domain Manager" that said "Authorization email." That simple. That easy.
He lacks all realization that HE has to get the Authorization Code from Godaddy in order for me to use the Confirmation code, and then send it to *me*.
He was told this numerous times.
Please NOTE, Graham, that he states that
HE *"does not know what to do with it." This is the guy who is claiming that I do not know what I am talking about when it comes to domain transfers.

I asked to discuss this on the phone - to get it straightened out - and I also phoned him at the number he gave Whois....he pretended not to be himself...said no such person lived there.
