The Guy who bought GOOGLE.COM for $12
Date: September 29,2015 Tuesday
An Indian guy,Sanmay Ved was searching for domain names on Google Domains(Google's website buying service) and to his surprise found thatGoogle.com was available for purchase.He considered it as a glitch but he decided to just try once. And then what happened was a kind of miracle for him. His transaction went through and he bought GOOGLE.com just for $12. As soon as he became the owner of Google.com,instead of getting an email "you bought a domain" from the company,he started receiving emails with internal information. Of course, he was freaked out by this.
These screenshots were taken by him.
Twist:- Being an ex-Googler,he reported this thing to Google and the very next moment his transaction was cancelled and he was returned his $12.
But one thing is for sure, neither Sanmay nor GOOGLE will forget this,ever.
