Dear Ricardo d'Argence,
Thank you for contacting Online Support.
We are aware of the 'domain kiting' that has been occurring when a domain is searched through our systems and we are working towards reducing the amount of domains that are being temporarily registered, if not altogether. However, the domains that are 'tasted' are only registered for five days before they are dropped and made available to the public again. For more information about domain kiting, please refer to the Wikipedia article below:

I notice that when I check for a new domain name, some times it gets registered before by some other "domain tasting" company.
This domains are not dictionary words or domains with traffic. They are all new domains never registered before.
I am very worried that somehow my requests for domains are being leaked and these companies have access to that and register the domains I want before I get the chance to close the deal with my own clients.
What are you doing to provent this fraud?
please advise.
