what can I do after being scammed
<p>I traded a Domain name (<a href="http://stamp.wtf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://stamp.wtf</a>) for a year of hosting by a man.</p>

<p>After (permanently) transfering the domain to the man, he set up an account for.</p>

<p>He then deleted it a few days later (yesterday or today) before I got the chance to make use of the server, because I was writing the code for my application on my own computer.</p>

<p>Is there any legal action I can take?</p>

<p>Before we traded, I asked him to make a contract, but he said "[he] wouldnt make a contract for a $7 domain".</p>

<p>I'm also under 18.</p>

<p>He has blocked and ignore all attempts at communication.</p>

<p>It seems that you have a valid contract and he has breached it. You could sue for the value of a year's hosting in a small claims court. Whether this is worth the effort ...</p>

<p>Alternatively, since you are under 18, you can void the contract. Which means you would have no right to a year's hosting, and he would have no right to the domain name, and if he uses it, you can take him to court. </p>

<p>BTW. If he hasn't "made a contract for a $7 domain" then he hasn't got a right to that domain name anyway. No contract, no rights. </p>
