Slimeware.com is an ancient site of mine that parodies adware companies. I doubt very much that anyone is trying to use this as a domain name for a legitimate business, and I couldn't care less if they did anyway. In fact, what is happening here is that the scammer "Jim Bing" (is he related to Terry Google?) is just trying to get you to panic and buy and overpriced and worthless domain name.
It's a pretty common scam, and I have explained the basics in the video below..

To defend those scam, Dont panic. report the issue to the domain Sponsoring Registrar. you will find the registrar via whois. it cannot stop the scam but at least it makes their domain stop working for a while.
