CBS News just published a story on the domain name aftermarket getting all their information from the story from husband and wife team Brian and Meghan Berke which run domainagency.com.

You need to be sure your money is safe until the domain you bought is securely moved to your hosting account.
Congrats to Brian and Meghan.
