Expired domain finder domain not available - WorldStar - 01-17-2018

Hi, I'm using the plugin  expired domain finder, Found many domain that he says are available but then they are not and they are usually the domains that have better metrics, There is some advice so that these domains do not come out

Are they .org?

Scrapebox relies on WHOIS servers to determine if a domain is available or not. The .org WHOIS server returns erroneous results for some domains, which makes them look like they are available when in fact they are not. This doesn't really happen with basically any other whois server except on rare 1 off circumstances where there is just an error.

So unfortunately sometimes .org will report incorrectly because whatever the folks that manage the .org whois server are doing, its messing up records and they are serving up bad data. There isn't anything that can be done, its a case of it is what it is.
